1. Analysis of indicators of structural inequality
2. Promotion of friendly business and educational environments from the perspective of gender
3. Gender training of the university community
4. Transforming governance models
5. Strengthening gender research and scientific content
The role of the Observatori
The Observatori is the responsible of strengthening the axis of gender in research and scientific content. During the four years, we developed: a critical report on instruments of the European Commission to mainstream gender in research, support guides to train staff director and project manager and research trainees, and finally a bench database of good practices in gender and research available to the scientific community.
