In our recent pre-holiday gathering in May 2023, members and supporters of GEinCEE CoP came together to delve into a discussion on female academics’ careers. It was a session that shed light on the challenges, achievements, and ongoing efforts to advance gender diversity in scientific fields.
International Women's Day, celebrated on 8 March, is an occasion for an even louder reminder of the importance of gender equality in building the prosperity and well-being of societies.
Community of Practice for Gender Equality in Central and Eastern Europe supports all actions taken to fight for a more friendly academia. In February we joined the #SafeAcademia campaign on Twitter, initialized within the GENDERACTIONplus project.
In November, Lithuanian members of our community co-organised a very interesting international conference entitled Gender studies and activism 2022: (Re-/de-/-?) institutionalization in changing realities.
During the November meeting of our Community of Practice, Jan Galkowski from the University of Rzeszow was talking about the educational component of gender equality plans (GEPs) prepared and implemented by Polish higher education institutions (HEIs).
As members of the Gender Equality in Central and Eastern Europe Community of Practice, we contribute to numerous scientific conferences and other events by presenting our research conducted within the framework of various projects.
Over the spring and summer months, as the GEinCEE Community of Practice we hosted (and of course participated in!) several online meetings/webinars. Delving into the topic of university sustainability and preparing gender equality plans in Czechia and Slovenia has been thrilling!
Early Autumn 2021 was intense for the GEinCEE CoP, filled with meetings, including a webinar on GEPs and a series of trainings.
Gender equality in Higher Education and Research policy is given a growing attention as the data confirms persisting gender inequalities in science.
