GENDER EQUALITY PLAN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LODZ
On June 28, 2022, the University of Lodz adopted a Gender Equality Plan (GEP). The GEP is a formal requirement of the European Commission for public institutions, research units and universities from the European Union and associated countries that apply for research funding from the European Union. The goal of the Gender Equality Plan (GEP) - covering the period 2022-2024 - is to monitor and promote equality at the University of Lodz.
The GEP was developed as part of the Horizon 2020-funded project Redesigning Equality and Scientific Excellence Together (RESET) with the participation of the University of Lodz Gender Equality Board.
