I The INTEGER Strategy • Securing top-level support (Partnership Group) • Forming mixed gender & grade implementation teams • Carrying out a detailed baseline data assessment (statistics, on-line survey, site visits to Faculties/Schools/Labs) • Refining & implementing tailored transformational gender action plans • Aligning these T-GAPs with institutional agendas, national laws & regulations and EC policies and recommendations

• Exchanging experience & best practice between project partners, with Ambassadors and mentoring peer institutions, as well as with other FP7-funded projects • Developing a tailor-made, comprehensive, formative and summative evaluation scheme, and adapting T-GAPs accordingly

• Sharing our experience, tools and learning through Guidelines, including how-to guides, case studies, an evaluation toolkit, and through a set of final regional dissemination conferences.

I Transformational Gender Action Plans (T-GAPs) e.g. -Data-driven trainings on gender equality and unconscious bias (TCD, CNRS, ŠU) -Workshops on managing work relations between direct managers and research staff (ŠU) Engagement of -Action plan for fighting against Decision-Makers sexual harassment (CNRS) e.g. Work-Life -One-term relief from teaching Balance duties for staff returning from extended leave (CNRS, TCD) -Support to childcare and adult-care responsibilities (ŠU, CNRS) -Worktime organisation charter (CNRS) -Social programme (TCD, ŠU)

e.g. -U. of Michigan STRIDE-like Committee (CNRS) -Extension of Athena SWAN Charter to Ireland and application (TCD) - Workshops to develop a more friendly work environment (ŠU) Organisational -Election of senior women to Structures University Council (ŠU) Career Progression, (CNRS, TCD) Development and Support

e.g. -Career & exit interviews

-Professional development training including “Springboard” (CNRS, ŠU) -Women Researchers Network (ŠU) -Early Career Research Support Office

(TCD) -Eminent women speakers programme (TCD) -Outreach activities for high school & PhD (CNRS)
