A #research team conducted focus group interviews with faculty and staff at the Mongolian University of Science and #Technology (MUST) and developed a new gender equality index to ascertain the status of gender equality in the country’s higher #education institutions. The study found that #genderequality among MUST teachers, staff, and students was above average, but it needed improvement in #management councils and #leadership positions. It proposes strategies to enhance gender equality at the student, teaching staff, and #governance levels. 🟠 READ https://buff.ly/3VSBXqa #SDG4 #SDG5 #SDG10 Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, Ankhbayar Begz (Paul Anka), Christine Min Wotipka, Risako Ninomiya, Jieun Song

As part of the EDUC-WIDE project, and specifically within the framework of Work Package 5, we had the opportunity to participate in 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. #GenderEquality #EDUCWIDE #ResearchCollaboration #Innovations #EDUCAlliance

Delighted that my paper "Exploring Cypriot #female #academics’ experiences of #precarity through a #postcolonial #lens: Challenges, hopes and the reality of #neoliberal #universities in #Europe" has been accepted for publication in the #Special #Issue of the #Scopus-indexed Journal "Postcolonial Directions in #Education".

Empowering Research with Gender+ Perspectives 🌟 Today, we had the privilege of delivering a training session titled “Gender+ in Scientific Research” to a group of graduate students at Koç University. As part of the Horizon Europe-funded NEXUS project, this session aimed to highlight the importance of integrating gender+ dimensions into scientific research and innovation processes. During the session, we discussed: ✅ How gender+ perspectives enhance research outcomes. ✅ Real-world examples of applying gender+ dimensions across various fields, from fast fashion to urban planning. ✅ The significance of Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) and how they support inclusive research practices. We were happy to see participants engage in thought-provoking discussions, sharing their insights on how to incorporate these principles into their own research. Special thanks to the Koç University Gender Equality Office and the Office of Learning and Teaching for their invaluable support in organizing this event. This training is just the beginning! Stay tuned for the next phase of our program, focusing on gender-based violence in academia, coming next semester.

📝 SCGES 2024 Annual Report on Gender Equality in Science Published The Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science (SCGES) is an independent committee formed in 2020 by several international scientific organizations, including the IMU. These founding partners had worked together on the project “A Global Approach to the Gender Gap in Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Sciences: How to Measure It, How to Reduce It?” (https://lnkd.in/etcvZ-C4). The 2024 Annual Report highlights SCGES’s expanded partnerships and ongoing initiatives to promote gender equality across scientific disciplines. Now representing 24 global partners, SCGES has strengthened its initiatives with six dedicated Working Groups and an expanded data collaboration with the International Science Council (ISC) on issues of gender balance in partner organizations. 🔗 Read the full 2024 report on the SCGES website: https://lnkd.in/e8cN5pJm #GenderEquality #SCGES #IMU #ISC
