Time to Act: Institutional Pathways to Addressing Gender-Based Violence
Place: Vienna, Austria
The EU project GenderSAFE invites to the conference: Time to Act: Institutional Pathways to Addressing Gender-Based Violence.
Across Europe, a growing number of higher education and research organisations are redefining what safe and inclusive academic environments should look like. Yet gender-based violence continues to affect students, researchers, and staff, reminding us that change, while underway, must accelerate and become systemic.
The final conference of the GenderSAFE project is a call to action. Bringing together stakeholders from across the European Research Area, it creates a space to share experiences, spark ideas, and strengthen the collective resolve to prevent and address gender-based violence in higher education and research.
The programme will openly address the challenges institutions face, from resistance and limited resources to gaps in policy implementation, while highlighting practical ways to overcome them. It will also showcase tangible tools developed by GenderSAFE, including trainings and materials in multiple languages, a tool for institutions to self-assess their policy, and a model policy framework, co-designed with the project’s community of practice, to turn intention into action.
