GENDERACTIONplus2027 is a Horizon Europe project coordinated by the Centre for Gender and Science, ISAS, and running from 2026 to 2028. Building on the achievements of GENDERACTIONplus, the project supports inclusive gender equality in research and innovation policy across Europe.
The project brings together national authorities, research funding organisations and key European Research Area (ERA) stakeholders to strengthen policy development, implementation, monitoring and mutual learning. Through a Community of Practice, policy monitoring, practical guidance and stakeholder engagement, GENDERACTIONplus2027 supports the translation of policy commitments into concrete actions and measures.
Through these activities, the project aims to:
- Strengthen networking and policy coordination through the transnational network
- Build enhanced capabilities and skills for the design, implementation, Monitoring & Evaluation of inclusive and intersectional gender equality policies across the ERA
- Develop tools to strengthen inclusive GE and GM in research and innovation
- Monitor progress, enable uptake, and ensure sustainability of outcome
A central feature of the project is its Community of Practice, consisting of two circles. One brings together representatives of national authorities, while the other focuses on research funding organisations. SDU is work package leader and coordinates and supports the Circles’ work through the organisation of peer learning, exchange of experience and collaborative activities, participants contribute to the development, validation and uptake of project outputs.
The project also works closely with the ECs ERA Forum Sub-group on Inclusive Gender Equality and a wider network of stakeholders to support the co-creation, dissemination and uptake of project results.
