Description: This publication is the result of four and a half years of experience and joint effort as part of the CHANGE project. The project consisted of five institutions new to the field of institutional gender equality work that set out in cooperation with two experienced partners to design and implement gender equality plans (GEPs) for their respective science and research organisations. The focus was co-producing gender knowledge jointly within this group of CHANGErs. The aim was to customise the contents of the respective GEPs to each specific target group, and later on to execute it with the help of further stakeholders from research performing organisations (RPOs) and research funding organisations (RFOs). The structure of this publication is divided into three sections. The first contains background information on CHANGE and theory-based reflections on gender in equality in scientific and academic organisations and why it persists – and, more importantly, strategies for promoting gender equity and diversity. In part two, CHANGErs report on their experiences and the lessons they learned during the GEP design and implementation process. Among other things, the practical examples show how crucial it is to tailor plan development in order to acknowledge and defuse resistance to ensure the success of your GEP. For example, readers gain insights into the approaches taken in a multicultural and diverse academic organisational environment, as well as in one of the leading institutions for applied research in Europe. The third section focuses on the Central and Eastern European countries (CEE).Representatives from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia talk about their experiences with institutional gender equality (policy) work, often in the shadow of deep-rooted political and social resistance to these issues, and how they can circumvent these obstacles to bring about change despite such preconditions. - From the publication.
