3.2. Tracking pay scale for gender equity
MATE continuously monitors the implementation of Gender Equality Plan, and prepares annual reports on measurement or tracking results of pay scale gender equity. ANNUAL GENDER EQUALITY REPORT is a valuable document that allows us to understand the complexity of our community in terms of the differences that distinguish it and, above all, the gaps that still pervade it and to set targeted policies that help to implement the 2022-2024 Gender Equality Plan.
AGRIGEP – Gender Equality Plans in Agriculture and Life Sciences
The project entitled “Assessment and Implementation of Agriculture and Life Science Universities’ First Gender Equality Plans in Widening Countries” (AGRIGEP) is a Horizon Europe initiative coordinated by MATE, launched in 2023.
The EU is tackling the problem by introducing mandatory Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) in R&D institutions, but different skills, capacities and expertise are hampering effective implementation. Gender inequality problems may be more pronounced in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, for which concrete action plans already exist. However, STEM fields are not homogeneous, with institutions in agriculture and life sciences facing very similar problems, but lacking sector-specific measures and plans to address the problem. Moreover, in the field of agriculture, many students come to EU research and education institutions from developing countries where there is a marked sector-specific gender imbalance.
