The NORFACE Network is pleased to announce the publication of the NORFACE Statement on Gender Equality and make a contribution to reaching gender equality in the European research landscape.
NORFACE is committed to gender equality, because we believe it is vital to attract and harness talent from the widest range of people to deliver the very best research. The aim of the network is therefore to ensure that its procedures champion gender equality.
The statement covers several points where NORFACE will actively implement measures from now on, and confirms the network’s attention and practice on this topic for many years. These points include the writing of call documentation, selecting peer reviewers and panel members, and instructing evaluation panels. On the NORFACE website, gender statistics will be published and regularly updated.
Over time, the network aims to keep implementing effective measures and maintain a continuous contribution to gender equality in research.
