GENDER EQUALITY PLAN
The European Commission is committed to promoting gender equality in research and innovation as part of its Gender Equality Strategy for 2020-2025.
As an organisation participating in the Horizon 2020 Programme, KEHSIA asbl has chosen to support the Commission’s effort to strengthen gender equality within research and innovation field. Since our foundation, we have always championed gender equality within the association and among our partners. This strong commitment is at the core of our Gender Equality Plan.
The Gender Equality Plan is a document that formalises the association’s gender strategy into measurable objectives and actions. For the period 2024-2026, we are pursuing four main objectives:
- Promoting a gender equality culture among the association’s partners, incoming trainees and network organizations;
- Promoting a gender-sensitive approach in the development of gender sensitive project’s design;
- Promoting a gender sensitive approach in the recruitment and career development of the association’s trainees;
- Promoting integration of work with family and personal life.
To reach these objectives, we have planned a set of actions and dedicated resources. The plan represents the first step of a long-term strategy for the incoming years. We will periodically review our policy as we reach the objectives mentioned above.
To find out more about the actions we are carrying on, you can download our Gender Equality Plan for 2024-2026. You can also find the letter of commitment in which we pledge to work for a more diverse and inclusive society.
