As part of the EDUC-WIDE project, and specifically within the framework of Work Package 5, our employees the opportunity to participate in a Gender Equality Workshop at Masaryk University in Brno.
The workshop featured insightful presentations on:
• Ethical governance from a gender perspective.
• Integrating gender into teaching and research activities.
• Data analytics tools to assess the gender dimension in Open Science.
• Implementing Gender Equality Plans in Research: Navigating the Ukrainian Context – an opportunity to share Ukrainian practices and challenges.
The event was enriched by productive discussions and knowledge-sharing, bringing together experts and representatives from across the EDUC alliance.
We’re excited to bring these insights back to Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University and take the next steps toward developing and implementing effective best practices. Collaborating with the EDUC alliance provides invaluable support in advancing diversity, inclusion, and equity within our institution.

What role does the government play?

Is “gender equality” poorly marketed or misunderstood?

Do we all truly share the same understanding of these concepts?

The conversations were challenging yet constructive, paving the way for Career Diversity Experts to shape the future of EDUC. Exciting times ahead for EDUC-WIDE!
