The University of Genoa has a Gender Budget, which contains data about its personnel. It has been published in 2020 and refers to 2019. It is updated in these weeks. https://cpo.unige.it/sites/cpo.unige.it/files/pagine/Bil_diGenere_01.pdf
All Italian public bodies have a Positive Action Plan (PAP), published on the institution’s website, which is recognized by the EIGE website as a “GEP”. At the University of Genoa, we are currently “extracting” from the PAP all the actions aimed at gender equality (a PAP deals also with equal opportunities in general), to create a GEP which formally responds to the Eu requirements.
Hello everybody, I am Rita Bencivenga (he/her/hers). I currently live and work in Italy. I collaborate with the University of Genoa to promote gender equality, diversity, and inclusion through three EU-funded projects dealing with these topics.
I look forward to discussing and interact with other participants.
