This document, the eLTER RI Gender Equality Plan serves two primary purposes in this regard. First, it is the explicit declaration of our commitment to eliminating gender discrimination within eLTER RI and throughout the broader European and global research communities. Second, it is the action plan describing specifically how the resources of the RI will be mobilized to address and mitigate gender discrimination in eLTER RI and beyond. The Gender Equality Plan thereby represents a significant step forward in meeting eLTER RI’s strategic objective of creating a collaborative, inclusive, and inviting working environment that promotes equal opportunities regardless of gender, religion or beliefs, race, sexual orientation, age, etc., in alignment with Article 21 of the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights (EU 2007).
