The GENDERACTIONplus project wrote an open letter to Ekaterina Zaharieva, European Commissioner-Designate for Start-ups, Research and Innovation, to stress the importance to continue working to expand gender equality policies and ensure that these policies incorporate inclusivity and intersectional perspectives, including maintaining Gender Equality Plans as an eligibility criterion for accessing EU research funding under Horizon Europe, a crucial policy for advancing gender equality in research and higher education institutions.

The open letter can be signed (scroll down below letter) as an individual, with the option to remain anonymous or without affiliation. It is also possible to leave a short comment that could be used for an upcoming social media campaign. Up-to-date the letter has 600 signatories.
