Long Description: 

The CoP gathers practitioners - representatives of higher education institutions, research funding organizations, policy-making organizations, non-governmental organizations and entrepreneurships operating in Central and Eastern Europe, who undertake or are willing to undertake initiatives aiming at achieving gender equality in their organizations. The CoP brings together organisations’ officials and administrators (namely Rector’s Plenipotentiaries, Organization’s Ombudsperson or Departmental Officers), as well as researchers, activists, students, policy-makers and entrepreneurs.

The CoP engages representatives of all academic disciplines and its operation covers all three ERA priorities – advancing number of women in R&I and HE, in decision-making processes, incorporating gender dimension in research and teaching content. 

As gender equality measures (including gender equality plans – GEPs) are starting to be introduced in (research) organizations in Central and Eastern Europe, one of the areas of cooperation is an exchange of knowledge in regards to designing, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of these measures.
