Gender Equality and Inclusion in the Research Lifecycle

Developed under the PATTERN Project, Gender Equality in Research, Academic, and Professional Environments is a self-paced course designed to support learners in understanding, promoting, and applying gender equality principles. Through three sections, learners explore key concepts, policy frameworks, unconscious bias, stereotypes, systemic inequalities, and inclusive practices using real-life examples, case studies, and interactive activities. Participants gain tools to recognize gender inequalities in their own context, reduce bias, promote inclusive communication and decision-making, and contribute to more equitable and respectful workplaces and communities. Suitable for researchers, academic staff, professionals, and learners interested in inclusive institutional cultures, it offers flexible learning, practical exercises, a final quiz requiring a minimum score of 80%, and a certificate.
