As ATHENA enters its final six months, we are excited to share the progress we have made in fostering the adoption of Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) within research-performing and research-funding organisations in Widening countries.
To mark the culmination of this impactful journey, we are organising two pivotal events:
Policy Event: In collaboration with the European Parliament, on May 13, 2025, in Brussels.
ATHENA Final Conference: On May 14, 2025, also in Brussels.
These events will showcase two newly developed policy briefs that explore:
- The essential role of gender equality in driving research excellence and innovation across Europe.
- Tailored strategies to achieve gender balance in smaller, younger, and remote universities, addressing their specific challenges and opportunities.
The conference will highlight the transformative impact of gender equality on research and innovation, share key findings from the ATHENA project, and provide opportunities to foster collaboration and advocate for systemic change in academia.
Save the dates and join us in shaping a more inclusive academic future!
