EQUAlity through accreditaTION

Objectives:
We will develop tools and trainings for HEIs, Accreditation Institutions, and their staff to be better equipped to contribute to reduction of the Gender Gap which will lead to sustainable cultural and institutional change. Through this, we will contribute to a higher level of broadly equal opportunities and outcomes for women and men across sectors by means of sustainable cultural and institutional change.
