The South East European Centre (SEERC) and the Region of Central Macedonia (RCM) are proud to present the final Gender Equality Plan (GEP) for the R&I field in RCM. The plan has been developed within the context of the TeRRItoria EU project (Horizon 2020), within a span of almost 2 years.
The TeRRItoria project aims to promote Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) principles at territorial level, through 5 transformative experiments in 5 European territories (Central Macedonia, Emilia Romagna, Trondelag, North East Romania and the Municipality of Gabrovo).
One of the main objectives of the transformative experiment in the Region of Central Macedonia (RCM) was the creation of the Gender Equality Plan for the R&I organizations of the region. The plan has been developed by SEERC and RCM under a co-creation strategy and the engagement of regional stakeholders.
The main strategic areas of the GEP are:
- Female Career Progression
- Gendered Science
- Confronting Social and Cultural Stereotypes – Challenging Horizontal Segregation
- Projection of Female Role Models – Appropriate scientific communication
- Gender-neutral (and/or gender-sensitive) Language in Institutional Communication and Dissemination
- Work-life Balance
- Addressing Sexual Harassment and Gender-based Violence
- Raising Awareness on Gender Issues
