On the 14th and 21st of March 2022, the CASPER project has held its final online conference on the feasibility of establishing a European certification system for gender equality in Research and Innovation.
The CASPER project has examined the feasibility of establishing a European award/certification system for gender equality for Research Performing Organizations. Based upon an extensive assessment of available certification schemes and needs across Europe and beyond, we have developed and evaluated three possible scenarios.
The CASPER project has developed three alternative Gender Equality Certification/Award Schemes (GECAS) to be managed and supported by the European Commission, plus a fourth scenario where the EC would not take directly action, incentivising instead EU member states to set up their own gender equality certification/award systems.

The CASPER team proudly presents the “State of the Art Analysis: mapping the awarding certification landscape in Higher Education and Research” (D3.3). This report is the outcome of the research effort of a network of more than 30 international researchers.
The CASPER project will examine the feasibility of establishing a European award/certification system for gender equality for Research Performing Organizations.
A worth noting initiative for the CASPER Project is the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA).
The CASPER team is proud of announcing the completion of its first output, “D3.1 Policy Framing Report”, an outcome of the initial efforts in the project’s life cycle dedicated to “Mapping the landscape in terms of initiatives aiming at awarding and certifying gender equality in research” (WP1).
