ENSEMBLES Project Gender Committee
Dear ENSEMBLES partners
In line with all Integrated Projects and Networks of Excellence, the ENSEMBLES project has a gender action plan to promote gender equality within the project. A part of our plan is to have a Project Gender Committee to oversee gender issues. We are now looking to form the committee of three members from project participants. Do you have anyone at your institute who would like to be involved in this committee? Please e-mail me any names and e-mail addresses of volunteers or contact myself or Clare Goodess (e-mail C.Goodess at uea.ac.uk) if you would like further information.
We hope that the committee will meet at least once a year (there is no travel budget for the committee, but there will be opportunities to meet at common meetings such as the General Assembly), and communicate by e-mail and telephone at other times. The committee will be in a position to help evolve and implement the project's gender action plan (see pages 97-98 of the Description of Work for the initial gender action plan), and will communicate information via the ENSEMBLES web site, RT8 newsletters, and gender action reports.
Regards
Chris Hewitt
