ProgrammesThe EU Award for Gender Equality Champions was created under Horizon Europe to recognise the results achieved by academic and research organisations in the implementation of gender equality plans (GEPs). GEPs is an eligibility criterion for all public bodies, higher education institutions and research organisations from EU Member States and associated countries wishing to participate in Horizon Europe. The eligibility criterion was introduced for calls with deadlines in 2022 and onwards.
The award is open to universities, higher education institutions, and other research performing organisations (public or private), established in an EU Member State or a non-EU country associated to Horizon Europe.
There are three categories: Sustainable, Newcomer and Inclusive. Deadline to apply is 16 October 17:00 CET. The evaluation is expected to be finalized by March 2025. Each winner will receive a €100,000 prize: one in the sustainable and inclusive categories and two in newcomer category.

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
