GEP

UP2DATE  has defined a brief gender equality plan (GEP) which has the following global objectives:

• GOAL1: Strengthen and spread the culture of equality in the consortium.
• GOAL2: Disseminate UP2DATE consortium’s commitment to equality and promote the activation of an egalitarian culture.
• GOAL3: Incorporate the gender perspective in UP2DATE management.
• GOAL4: Ensure an open and inclusive working environment, the visibility of women in the consortium and externally and that the contribution of women is properly valued.
• GOAL5: Gender balance in leadership and decision-making.

In order to fulfil the objectives different actions have been defined. These have been grouped in three different work lines:

• Equality Culture
  • Disseminate the Equality Plan to the consortium in informative talks.
  • Show to the consortium the gender situation.
  • Promote activities to socialize gender equality (talks, actions oriented to specific dates, above all, giving visibility to UP2DATE researchers).
  • Offer training pills on equality to the consortium.
  • Take care of using non-sexist communication on digital platforms.
  • Monitor and analyse equality data.

• Social Responsibility
  • Include in UP2DATE communication media the commitment to equality.
  • Disseminate (through social networks, web news…) the equality activities promoted by UP2DATE.
  • Disseminate STEM2 vocations by accessing educational centres with UP2DATE researchers, and/or organizing talks.
• Management from a gender perspective
  • Include the gender variable in UP2DATE data (statistics, studies and reports).
  • Monitor the equity of representation in technical and management boards.
