Gender Board
 |
The EU is committed to increasing the numbers of women working
in science, and their aim is that at least 40% of Fellows employed in
Research Training Networks should be female. The EVAN Management Board
fully supports this, and has formed a Gender Board whose responsibility
it is to oversee and promote equality and gender related issues.

In order to monitor gender equality, the Gender Board asks all partners to complete short monitoring forms annually during the project and also when they make an EVAN appointment. | ||
 |
Recruitment is one of the main ways by which gender balance and equality in the project can be promoted and ensured. It is an EU aim that 40% of the Fellows recruited to the project should be female. | ||
 |
Along with fairness in recruitment, there should also be equality in day-to-day employment. This should include the formal aspects of employment (such as job performance appraisal) as well as the informal (the way individual members are treated on a day-to-day basis). | ||
 |
Contact has been made with the Center for Gender Equality, University of Vienna, and with various other organisations, including several anthropological associations, the UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology, and the European Platform of Women Scientists. | ||
 |
The Gender Board also acts as a formal EVAN contact point for alleged sexual harassment and discrimination but will not ‘investigate’ alleged sexual harassment or discrimination, as this is the responsibility of individual institutions, and rules on discrimination and harassment may vary from country to country. |
The Gender Board forms parts of the management structure of EVAN and reports to the Co-ordinator. It also works with the Training Administrator to ensure that the individual training needs of the Fellows are met.
