Next week, the NEXUS consortium will gather in Krakow for the project’s International Final Conference “Fostering sustainable change: Effective policy and practice for inclusive gender equality in Europe”.
One of the highlights will be the presentation of the Policy Brief “Advancing Inclusive Gender Equality Plans: Policy Insights from the NEXUS Project”, which brings together key findings, recommendations, and policy implications emerging from two years of collaborative work across Europe. Stay tuned on the Session 4: Policy gaps, developments, and recommendations!

The Policy Brief, developed by Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia,  addresses systemic barriers to equality in research and innovation, showcases promising practices piloted in nine institutions, and provides concrete policy insights on how to design more inclusive, intersectional, and intersectoral Gender Equality Plans (GEPs).

We look forward to sharing our work and engaging in dialogue with policymakers, institutions, and stakeholders.
