During the second part of the conference, 4 panels were held discussing projects' relevant solutions to challenges. In this video the first panel session is presented. The topic was Gender equality in research organisations and society – Achieving structural and sustainable change; the session was moderated by Jennifer Dahmen-Adkins, LeTSGEPs Evaluator, while Florence Degavre of Université Catholique de Louvain and Maxime Forest of Sciences Po Paris were the invited speakers.
The event was hosted by Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), member of CALIPER consortium. Organised in three main parts, the conference brought together project partners, researchers (including post-doc and PhD students), innovation leaders, decision-makers, European Commission representatives, HR practioners and Gender Equality pundits to highlight the projects’ main outcomes, reflect upon shared challenges, as well as actions for achieving long-term, inclusive and sustainable institutional change in terms of gender equality measures and the integration of gender dimension in research.
The event launched the CALIPER Charter of Gender+ Inclusive R&I Ecosystems, that aims at reaching out to new stakeholders and networks across Europe to foster lasting structural change. the signature and endorsement process of the Charter will be opened during the conference. Furthermore, participants got a copy of the LeTSGEPs Handbook, a publication that provides guidelines for the implementation of GEPs and Gender Budgeting, for achieving gender equality in Research Organisations.
