Programmes Enhancing EU R&IThe 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.

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
