RESOURCES FOR RESEARCH FUNDING ORGANISATIONS
Welcome to the section of our website dedicated to research funding organisations!
Among RFOs, we register an increasing interest on the design and implementation of measures to improve the impact of their funding schemes on gender equality. Sometimes these measures may take the form of a Gender Equality Plan, or of a policy, or other individual measures.
The goal of this page is to gather useful materials that might be interesting for any institution willing to introduce gender equality measures in its activities.
RESOURCES & EXAMPLES
We developed a tool that brings together resources and examples of measures that RFOs can take to promote gender equality during the typical cycle of a call for proposals. The tool is available at this link and also on Miro at this link.
TRAINING & KNOWLEDGE SHARING
SUPERA has launched a series of webinars and online workshops to facilitate experience exchanges between Research Funding Organisations that develop – or plan to develop – a Gender Equality policy.
