GenTIC's E-discussion: CASPER Gender Equality Certification Scenarios

Program

Organized by the H2020 CASPER Project, in which the IN3's Gender and ICT (GenTIC) research group participates as a project partnerp, this e-discussion will provide open forum to comment on three possible scenarios for a European award/certification system for gender equality in research performing organizations. The three proposed Gender Equality Certification/Award Schemes (GECAS) have been developed by the CASPER consortium based upon an extensive assessment of existing certification schemes and needs across Europe and beyond, and include (1) a new EU-wide GECAS, (2) a Gender Equality Strategy for Researchers (GES4R), and (3) the Europeanisation of a national GECAS – Athena SWAN.

The e-discussion will be structured according to the three proposed scenarios under review, with one hour dedicated to each.
