Gender Equality Plan (2022‐2024)
Best Practice
Promoter Information:
Abstract:
The Gender Equality Plan (GEP) developed by the University of Crete, in Greece, aims to promote gender equality in the university, by addressing the underrepresentation of women in higher education and academic leadership roles. It thus relates to the promotion of women’s social power in Geek academic life (in administration, education, research, communication, interaction among its members). The plan strives to safeguard the principle of acceptance of diversity, denouncing all forms of discrimination and fostering a culture of inclusion. It also seeks to reduce inequalities in professional development, to mitigate discrepancies between men and women in research, and to achieve a higher share of women in administration and decision‐making positions, thus contributing to the promotion of research, the advancement of scientific knowledge and innovation, and the creation of an equal academic community. To achieve these goals, the GEP proposes the creation of a Gender Equality Committee to oversee the implementation of the plan, the establishment of a Gender Equality Unit to provide support and training to staff and students, and the incorporation of gender equality objectives into the university's strategic planning process. These goals will be pursued by means of systematic recording and monitoring of all data.
