Gender Equality Plan - GEP

Starting from 2022, the introduction of a "Gender Equality Plan - GEP" as part of the strategical actions implemented within the Horizon Europe Program and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, brings public and private bodies recipients of European funding - and not only - to have a public, shared, approved and mandatory document.

 

The GEP naturally and consequently fits into the strategy and systemic approach aimed at integrating the gender perspective in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies, implementation measures and spending programs, with a view to promoting equality between women and men and fight discrimination.

 

The USiena GEP document therefore integrates with other initiatives and planning tools of the University, in particular with the Gender Budget, the Positive Action Plan and the Action Plan of the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers HRS4R.

 

 

The GEP intends to represent the main tool to influence systematic and shared institutional change; it is a strategic, operational, individualized and three-year tool that allows you to define the legal, organizational, economic and social framework and operating conditions to implement gender balance in practice. The documents relating to the three-year period 2022-2024  and 2025-2027 were approved by the Academic Senate and the Board of Directors and can be downloaded below.
