Bringing together the latest research among various communities of practice (disciplinary and place based as well as thematically organised), this volume reflects upon the knowledge, experience and practice gained through taking a unique community of practice approach to fostering gender equality in the sectors of research and innovation, and higher education in Europe and beyond. Based on research funded by the European Union, it considers how inter-organisational collaboration can foster change for gender equality through sharing of experiences of Gender Equality Plan implementation and examining the role of measures such as change-monitoring systems. As such, it will appeal to social scientists with interests in organisational change, the sociology of work and gender equality.

Advancing Gender Equality in Research Organisations: Key Factors for Success examines how organisational gender equality can be effectively designed, implemented and evaluated in European universities and research institutions.Drawing on the most comprehensive study to date of Gender Equality Plans across Europe, this edited volume presents fourteen case studies from eight countries developed within the INSPIRE Centre of Excellence. The chapters analyse six core facilitating factors for sustainable change: strategic organisational commitment, comprehensive data collection for equalities work, advanced gender expertise, inclusive communities of change agents, enforceable legislation, and supportive social and cultural contexts. The book further advances the field through a comparative, outcome‑ and impact‑oriented framework that addresses both gendered power relations and gendered value hierarchies, offering a critical alternative to symbolic equality measures.This book is essential reading for scholars of gender and organisational change, researchers and students in higher education studies, and practitioners, consultants and policymakers engaged in gender equality work in research and innovation.

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online.The under-representation of women in research and innovation has been documented as a global phenomenon and is particularly heightened on decision-making boards and in leadership positions. Presenting a reflexive approach to gender equality for research organisations developed within the TARGET project, funded by the European Commission, the authors describe the experiences of the project’s implementation in seven Gender Equality Innovating Institutions in the Mediterranean basin - including research performing organisations, research funding organisations and a network of universities.The TARGET approach goes beyond the formal adoption of a gender equality policy by emphasising an iterative and reflexive process towards equality at the institutional level as well as the establishment of a community of practice for gender equality within the institution. The approach is based on the assumption that actual change is the result of increased institutional willingness and capacity to identify, reflect on and address gender bias in a sustained way. Starting point and anchor of the process is a tailored gender equality plan for each institution. A specific characteristic of TARGET is the fact that implementing institutions are located in countries which have been characterised as relatively ‘inactive’ in developing gender equality policies in science and research. Therefore, internal and external communication about the relevance of gender equality in science and research forms an important element of a reflexive gender equality policy in contexts which are characterised by resistances, anti-genderism and traditional gender roles. This book will therefore be essential reading for higher education leaders and managers, and staff at all levels committed to achieving gender equity in higher education.This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
