The University of Genoa promotes an organisational culture based on respect for equal opportunities, gender equality, inclusion and the celebration of diversity.

The Gender Equality Plan (Gender Equality Plan – GEP) is the document through which the University sets out objectives, actions and tools to integrate the gender perspective into university policies, fostering a fair, inclusive and respectful study and working environment for all.

The GEP is also one of the requirements set by the European Commission for participation in research funding programmes and is consistent with the University of Genoa’s Strategic Plan and the University’s Gender Budget.

Gender Equality Plan 2026–2029

The Gender Equality Plan 2026–2029 builds on the work begun under the previous Plan, consolidating the actions already implemented and introducing new measures to promote gender equality and inclusion within the university community.

The planned actions are organised into six areas of intervention:

  • governance of the Gender Equality Plan, monitoring and data collection
  • work-life balance and promotion of organisational wellbeing
  • gender equality in senior positions, recruitment and career progression
  • integration of a gender perspective into research, teaching and study programmes
  • promotion of inclusive language, training and raising awareness within the university community
  • combating gender-based violence, harassment and all forms of discrimination.

For each area, the Plan sets out objectives, actions, the bodies responsible and monitoring procedures, with the aim of fostering continuous improvement in the University’s policies.
