Gender Equality Plan
The purpose of this Gender Equality Plan is to provide a clear, proportionate and operational framework to support gender equality within EFOMP activities, in line with Horizon Europe requirements and with EFOMP's role as a European Federation of National Member Organisations.
The plan focuses on areas where EFOMP has direct responsibility or meaningful influence. It supports transparent processes, fair access to professional opportunities, balanced representation where feasible, and a respectful professional environment.
This Gender Equality Plan applies to EFOMP activities within the scope defined below and will be monitored on an annual basis and reviewed periodically. It applies to:
- EFOMP governance bodies and committees where EFOMP has direct influence;
- EFOMP Working Groups and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) congress, schools and project nominations;
- EFOMP educational and scientific activities;
- EFOMP participation in European projects and partnerships;
- EFOMP awards, recognitions and representative roles where EFOMP manages or influences the process.
This plan does not impose binding obligations on National Member Organisations or external organisations beyond EFOMP's formal authority. EFOMP will nevertheless encourage good practice and proportionate application of gender equality principles in activities carried out under the EFOMP name or in partnership with EFOMP.
