Admittedly, I anticipated that contacting stakeholders at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) to collect information about SDU’s budgeting would be an uphill battle with some suspicious reactions, or worse, to be expected.
During the CoP’s last two Zoom meetings (November 2020 and January 2021) the CoP has focused on discussing the process and outcome of the TIPs.
We are happy to announce new GenBUDGET CoP members:
Today the GenBUDGET CoP had its first webinar on gender biases and gender budgeting in research organisations.

Sometimes it feels like everything has changed ‘since Covid’; at other moments, it’s easier to think that nothing has changed, or certainly not for the better. This is especially the case for gender equality in research organizations.
After a re-energizing summer break the GenBUDGET CoP is ready to continue the work. Due to the development of COVID-19, it was again decided to postpone the meeting in Iceland. It is now planned to take place January 7, 2021, provided that the situation gets better.
As explained in previous blogs, the GenBUDGET CoP planned a workshop in Iceland in the beginning of April. The aim of the workshop was to consolidate the interests and needs of the existing members into a plan of action for the reminder of the project.
Since our face-to-face meeting in January 15 at DESY, Hamburg, the GenBUDGET CoP has been planning a workshop, which was scheduled April 1-3, 2020. Due to the unforeseen circumstances created by the COVID-19, the workshop was cancelled until September 7-9, 2020.
