Gender Stereotypes and Gendered Attitudes in the Assessment of Women’s Work
Location: Democritus 153 10 Agia Paraskevi Attica, Athens, Greece
Online phase: October-May 2011; Date: 3rd March 2011

Gender stereotypes can be an inhibitor to the development and progress of an organisation. Assessment procedures undermined by gender stereotypes may lead to opposite than desired results. Gender Action Plans serve as keystone to the transformation of the organisation, setting the basis for removing stereotypes that prevent women’s progress.

The target group of this workshop are science institutions all over Europe that want to implement new or improve existing Gender Action Plans in their organisations. This workshop will facilitate a process by which each organisation will reflect on its capacity needs for the implementation of an effective Gender Action Plan leading to the elimination of gender stereotypes and attitudes that have negative impact on the assessment of women’s work.

Each organisation has its own rules, particular characteristics and, most importantly, different needs. The structure of the workshop serves this differentiation and corresponds to the specificity of each institution.

The preparatory phase of the workshop will enable each participant to outline their organisation's expected benefits from the implementation of the Gender Action Plan. The record of the capacity needs of each institution forms the focus of the workshop and will be reflected in the implementation strategy of the Gender Action Plan.

An online workspace will facilitate the preparatory phase that will support the exchange of experience, the discussion on different Action Plans and the reflection on the capacity needs of each organisation.

The workshop will facilitate in depth examination of the implementation procedure of Gender Action Plans, exploring possible implications, discrepancies and success factors.

High ranking Gender Experts will support workshop participants during the preparatory phase as well as during the workshop event, facilitating the discussions and the reflection process with their experience, knowledge and necessary materials.
