Gender equality Survey for RMEI H2020 TARGET programme

RMEI TARGET survey TARGET means "TAking a Reflexive approach to Gender Equality for institutional Transformation". This program aims to study the situation of gender equality in higher education and research and to develop strategies and policies to improve the situation if necessary.
Dear RMEI colleagues, the network participates in a European Horizon 2020 research program on gender equality. The latter, in connection with UNESCO's sustainable development objectives, is a major issue in our schools and faculties for both our students and our administrative or academic colleagues. We invite you to participate in a survey that will provide consolidated data on the current situation and thus allow, after analysis, to develop diagnostics and development strategies/policies. Although the survey is nominative, subsequent treatments will be anonymised, in accordance with the laws in force in Europe on this subject. The results of the survey will be presented at the next general meeting and will be displayed on the RMEI website. Important: To answer the survey you will need to know the answers to many questions about gender equality in your institution. You can download a document summarizing these questions and prepare yourself or your collaborators to answer them. https://perso.centrale-marseille.fr/~oboiron/visible/RMEI_survey.docx We thank you in advance for your participation Prof. Anastasia Zabaniotou, board member of RMEI and Professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Pr Olivier Boiron, General Delegate of RMEI and Professor at Ecole Centrale Marseille.
