The NEXUS Toolkit is designed to support Higher Education and Research and Innovation organisations

The NEXUS Toolkit is designed to support Higher Education and Research and Innovation organisations in advancing their Gender Equality Plans in intersectional and intersectoral directions.
It gathers the resources, tools and capacity building materials developed in the NEXUS Project and includes input for designing innovative actions, monitoring and evaluating their implementation, integrating the gender+ dimension in research, and countering gender-based violence in academia.
The NEXUS toolkit is compiled by the Smart Venice team, with contributions from NEXUS partners and references to external resources.
