Emphasising approach and achievements

Throughout the GENDERACTIONplus journey, we built strong, collaborative communities of practice among national authorities and research funders, driving forward mutual learning, coordination, and impactful policy work. Despite growing anti-gender mobilisations and political pushbacks, we stayed the course—developing new tools, generating evidence, and crafting policy recommendations that respond to both persistent gaps and promising practices. From supporting gender equality plans to addressing intersectional inequalities and gender-based violence, our work has shaped national policies and informed European research priorities. GENDERACTIONplus leaves a lasting legacy—and we’re not done yet.

GENDERACTIONplus Mobilisation Network

Inclusive gender equality in research and innovation is under growing pressure. Anti-gender movements, political pushback, and attacks on academic freedom threaten progress at a time when EU R&I policy is being reshaped.

The GENDERACTIONplus Mobilisation Network is a space for coordination, rapid response, and collective advocacy across the European R&I community.

We bring together gender equality practitioners, researchers, civil society, funders, and institutions to:

  • Share timely policy updates, especially on Horizon Europe and Framework Programme 10 negotiations
  • Coordinate responses to public consultations
  • Provide resources for advocacy and collective action
  • Promote members’ work and foster connections
  • Act together when rights-based approaches are at risk

If you’re committed to protecting and advancing gender equality in research and innovation, we invite you to join us.
