Gender Equality Plans for INclusivity: engines of Change
An initiative promoting the integration of LGBTIQ and intersectional individuals in Research & Innovation
Operated by: KMOP

CHALLENGE

Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) have fostered equality of opportunity for women in European Research and Innovation Organisations (RIOs), nonetheless, most GEPs to date bypass people who identify themselves as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Non-Binary, Intersex, and Queer (LGBTIQ); often also failing to address the specificities of people combining several minority-group threads (e.g., foreign women, disabled women, migrant women); a phenomenon defined as “intersectionality” by Crenshaw, 1998.
