Higher education and scientific research are primarily areas based on individual achievement and merit, and yet, they are permeated by deep-seated gender inequalities and diffused prejudice. Greece lags behind with respect to gender equality in this area, as European Union surveys show.

Gender disparities penetrate, often in indirect and invisible ways, human resource management, decision-making structures, research content, and the evaluation of scientific results, barring excellence, innovation and, in the end, social justice. The purpose of the project (GENDRHED) is to promote the ability of Greek universities and research centers to address gender inequalities. It will conduct a series of training activities for their academic, research and administrative staff in order to build their knowledge and ability to develop customized Gender Equality Plans (GEPs).

These plans are comprehensive interventions that higher education and research organizations can develop to tackle existing gender inequalities, to integrate the gender dimension into their structures, practices and internal operation, and to establish a culture of equality that excludes sexism.

The GENDRHED project fill a huge gap at a critical point in time, as universities and research centers in the Member States of the European Union are required to form GEPs as a prerequisite for receiving EU research funding. In Greece, unlike in other European countries, universities and research institutes have not yet developed such plans. The GENDRHED project aspires to provide them, within a year and a half, with the necessary know-how to formulate GEPs, drawing on the substantial experience and expertise of the applicant organization (ELIAMEP).
