♀♂Gender equality is not just a goal but a necessity for fostering innovation and inclusivity in research and innovation projects funded under #HorizonEurope. ☘How can we integrate gender into Nature-based solutions? Here are 5 key steps to integrate gender dimensions: ✅Strengthen Gender Equality Plans (GEPs): Ensure GEPs go beyond compliance by embedding them into institutional culture. ✅Refine Proposal Requirements ✅Include gender focal points in every project, allocate funding for gender-specific initiatives ✅Monitor and Evaluate Gender Impact ✅Leverage the Role of REA (Research Executive Agency) 💪By taking these steps, we can break down systemic barriers, foster equity, and ensure Horizon Europe projects contribute to a more inclusive and innovative future. 🧐How do you think we can strengthen gender equality in EU-funded projects? 👉Explore our insights into our latest policy brief INTEGRATING GENDER INTO RESEARCH AND INNOVATION: From practice to policy https://lnkd.in/eaCXMqZ3 📺Join our #webinar on Integrating Gender Perspectives in Nature-Based Solutions for Sustainable Cities on 18 March, 11:00-12:30 CET to explore all our suggestions! ⏩ https://lnkd.in/dEZwHe-b

👩🦱🧑🦱Why does it pay off to be gender-sensitive? 📣Embracing gender sensitivity increases the opportunities for your organisation! 🌍When institutions commit to #genderbalance, they don’t just promote fairness but they expand their talent pool, fostering a more diverse and dynamic research environment. 🔍Studies show that as equality levels rise, researchers experience greater well-being, higher job satisfaction, and stronger motivation, all of which fuel scientific excellence and institutional success. By prioritising inclusivity, we don’t just level the playing field, we accelerate innovation and growth. 👉Read our 2 latest policy briefs for more insights: 📄Integrating gender into nature-based solution for water management: From policy to practice: https://lnkd.in/eaCXMqZ3 📄INTEGRATING GENDER INTO RESEARCH AND INNOVATION: From practice to policy: https://lnkd.in/evP_-DE3 🔔Mark your calendar!
