Resources and tools for practice

INSPIRE:  

INSPIRE Support packages offer a flexible yet structured approach to providing high-quality support for gender equality practitioners. The packages combine reusable materials with on-demand elements, such as expert guidance and tailored advice. This integrated approach enables both high impact and scalability across five thematic areas: establishing Communities of Practice (CoP) for equality work; developing inclusive Gender Equality Plans (iGEPs); strengthening impact; sustaining and deepening organisational change (including monitoring and evaluation, intersectionality, and resistance); and enhancing quality and equality in research and innovation (R&I). 

INSPIRE Open Training Units are designed to support organisational change processes through targeted training. They include, for example, guidance on collecting reliable data on gender and intersectional inequalities among staff and students (e.g. using the GEAM tool), inclusive data monitoring practices, and approaches to translating intersectionality from a theoretical concept into actionable strategies. The units also provide access to an online toolkit on inclusive gendered innovation. 

SPEAR:  

SPEAR offers virtual training modules that address key aspects of gender equality implementation, including recruitment in academia and Obstacles, Dilemmas, and Resistance to Gender Equality Implementation. SPEAR also provides SPEAR’s Compass Guide, which supports the development and implementation of gender equality measures. 
 

FESTA:  

The FESTA project offers a HANDBOOK ON RESISTANCE to gender equality in academia as well as a Gender Sensitive PhD-Supervision Toolkit.
