Challenge
Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) have fostered equality of opportunity for women in European Research and Innovation Organisations (RIOs), nonetheless, most GEPs to date bypass people who identify themselves as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Non-Binary, Intersex, and Queer (LGBTIQ); often also failing to address the specificities of people combining several minority-group threads (e.g., foreign women, disabled women, migrant women); a phenomenon defined as “intersectionality” by Crenshaw, 1998.
Innovation
GEPINC aims to develop innovative training tools and initiatives designed to enhance the integration of LGBTIQ and intersectional gender groups within European RIOs. The proposed activities will serve as catalysts for change, sustainably advancing gender diversity and inclusion in European R&I, and are expected to create a significant and lasting impact on research performance and attractiveness in the field.
