Research has shown that the advancement of women in academia comes hand in hand with an increased awareness of the gender processes that underlie social life. It has been made clear that gender issues should be tackled at all levels of research activities and organisation, and thus, also in questions and methods of research. One of the aims of the Equality Programme is therefore to ensure that the issue of gender is addressed in scientific activities inside IPs and in the Doctoral Programme.

Each year, we organise conferences and workshops on these issues.

Our main partners are:

• Equal Opportunities Office of the University of Lausanne

• Equal Opportunities Office of the University of Geneva

• Equal Opportunities Office of the Ecole Polytechnique fédérale of Lausanne 
  

• The

  Interfaculty Platform on Gender Studies (PlaGe) of the University of Lausanne

The Equality Programme of the NCCR LIVES is partner of the Think Tank Gender & Diversity
