Gender Action
Welcome
These pages are to support gender actions in the Ensembles project, specifically to:
- Report annually on actions promoting gender equality which have been
performed at the project level, and on the rates of female participation
at all levels of the project. The Annual Gender Action Plan Report is
also intended to provide a critical assessment of the monitoring statistics
provided by partners, with recommendations for action, where appropriate.
The first annual report indicates that the gender balance of the ENSEMBLES workforce is no better or worse than might be expected, given the current composition of the European scientific community. Clearly this balance is not equal and reflects major and complex structural and social issues. - Provide practical information on recruitment procedures, networks, good practice, etc. and other gender related activities for the ENSEMBLES partners.
- Provide links to other projects/international organizations related to gender action aspects.
