Gender Equality Plan (GEP)
The University has promoted the drafting of the Gender Equality Plan in line with the values that inspire the University, also expressed in art. 10 of the Statute "Università Cattolica is a community of professors, students, administrative and technical staff, marked by respect for fundamental human rights and personal and collective freedoms, as well as by the principles of solidarity" and taken up by the Code of Ethics.
Accordingly, the University has implemented a long-term strategy aimed at addressing gender equality throughout the entire academic community, at instigating structural changes within the organisation and at closing gender gaps to tackle all forms of discrimination.
The actions envisaged by the Gender Equality Plan are applicable to the entire academic community: students, professors, technical/administrative staff and stakeholders. They concern the reconciliation of work and family life, gender balance in top positions and in the recruitment of resources, gender integration in research and teaching programmes, and the prevention of discrimination.
GEP Team and GEP Unit
These are two governance structures (planning and operational) that enable the realisation, activation and monitoring of the Gender Equality Plan (GEP), i.e. the three-year action plan aimed at reducing gender imbalances.
The individual project activities pertain to 5 areas of intervention:
- work-life balance and organisational culture;
- gender balance in leadership and decision-making positions;
- gender equality in recruitment and career progression;
- gender mainstreaming in research topics and teaching programmes;
- prevention of gender discrimination.
