Description
1) Objective
The “EU Award for Gender Equality Champions” is a recognition prize scheme meant as a booster and complement to the requirement for higher education establishments, research organisations and public bodies applying to Horizon Europe to have in place a Gender Equality Plan (GEP), and a tool for advancing inclusive gender equality plans and policies in the framework of the new ERA policy agenda, in synergy with the European Education Area (EEA) and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA, Bologna process), and in line with the new Communication on a European Strategy for Universities adopted on 18 January 2022.
The Prize will be awarded to up to four academic or research organisations, and contestants can apply to one among the following three prize categories:
- Sustainable Gender Equality Champions: Organisations that can demonstrate a significant and sustained record of activity and a high level of achievement through the implementation of their GEP;
- Newcomer Gender Equality Champions: Organisations that have recently started implementing a GEP and can demonstrate the most progress in its implementation and achieved results;
- Inclusive Gender Equality Champions: Organisations that have developed the most innovative inclusive GEP addressing intersections with other social categories such as ethnicity, social origin, sexual orientation and gender identity (LGBTIQ) or disability.
2) Eligibility
The contestant must be a university, higher education institution, or research performing organisation (public or private) located in an EU Member State or a country associated to Horizon Europe. Applicants that have already received an EU or Euratom prize cannot receive a second prize for the same activities.
3) Location
Actions can take place in an EU Member State or a country associated to Horizon Europe.
4) Budget
Each prize winner will receive EUR 0.1 million: EUR 0.4 million maximum in total, from the 2022 budget.
