The Group for European Integration (GIE) adopts this Gender Equality Plan (GEP) as a formal institutional commitment to equal opportunities, equal treatment, non-discrimination, dignity, inclusion and the prevention of gender-based discrimination and harassment. The Plan applies to GIE's organisational practices, staff, governance, recruitment and professional development, as well as to the design and implementation of research, education, training and European cooperation activities.
The GEP is designed in line with the four process-related building blocks used by Horizon Europe for Gender Equality Plans: public commitment, dedicated resources, data collection and monitoring, and training/awareness raising. It also addresses the five recommended thematic areas: work-life balance and organisational culture; gender balance in leadership and decision-making; gender equality in recruitment and career progression; integration of the gender dimension into research and educational content; and measures against gender-based violence, including sexual harassment.
