The EU is increasingly interested in promoting programmes that empower gender equality at all levels of societal life. Gender equality in the STEM scientific world attracts particular attention due to the high under-representation of women. The EU-funded CALIPER project intends to drive the structural change process of 7 Research Performing and 2 Research Funding STEM organizations to become more gender-equal by increasing the number of women researchers, enhancing their carrier perspectives and adding a gender dimension in research. The project will engage its regional and national innovation environments in active synergies to share knowledge and best practices. It aims at designing Gender Equality Plans for Research Organisations that will enhance women’s role on key positions spanning form research and innovation to actual market environments.
