Enhancing gender equality in STEM research Institutions: some experiences across Europe

GEECCO project (financed the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, grant agreement 741128) focuses on establishing tailor-made Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) in four European Research Performing Organizations (RPO) and to implement gender dimensions in two Research Funding Organizations (RFO). One of the main features of GEECCO is that all participating RPOs are STEM institutions, where gender equality is still a serious problem. This presentation wants to contribute to gender issue discussion in STEM fields by summarizing successes and failures encountered by the partners during the implementation period.
