Sciences Po joins European project RESET to advance gender equality

Sciences Po is now part of a European project called RESET, working together with seven other multidisciplinary Universities: the University of Bordeaux (France), the University of Porto (Portugal), the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece), the University of Oulu (Finland), the University of Lodz (Poland) and the Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany).

Advancing Gender Equality in Research Institutions

The purpose of this project is to address the challenge of gender equality in research institutions in a diversity perspective, with the objective to design and implement a user-centered, impact-driven and inclusive vision of scientific excellence.

The project will combine an intersectional approach to gender equality with the collective intelligence fostered and harvested through the co-design of the Gender Equality Plans (GEPs). These action plans are co-designed with the participation and collaboration of institutional authorities, individual stakeholders, and operational entities creating by this way a local ecosystem with the main aim of the gender balance in the academic community and throughout society.

Pursuing a long-standing commitment

As part of a long-standing commitment to put its research capabilities at the service of gender equality in research and academia, Sciences Po’s Gender Studies Programme – PRESAGE will be leading this new project. The RESET project follows the Effective Gender Equality in Research and the Academia project (EGERA, 2014-2017) and the Supporting the Promotion of Equality in Research and Academia ongoing project (SUPERA, 2018-2022). The Redesigning Equality and Scientific Excellence Together (RESET) project kicked off in January 2021 is planned to be completed by December 2024.
