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.

EITHOS - European Identity Theft Observatory System

The EITHOS project, funded under Horizon Europe Cluster 3 call “Online identity theft is countered”, aims to develop a “European Identity Theft Observatory System” (EITHOS). The system will provide easy access to information and intelligence about previous and current identity theft related trends to empower EU citizens, Law Enforcements Agencies (LEAs), and policy makers to further contribute to the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes related to online identity theft. The Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL), part of the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Research Group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), is one of the 12 partners in the EITHOS consortium, contributing its vast expertise on legal aspects of data protection, cybersecurity and information security law and policy.
