Rekomendacijos Lietuvos mokslo ir studijų institucijoms dėl priemonių, taikytinų lyčių lygybei moksle ir jo valdyme užtikrinti

Abstract

These recommendations are an integral part of the LYMOS project, based on the results and insights of BASNET experts. The recommendations are designed to as - sist higher education and research institutions to put gender equality into practice. For this purpose specific measures applied most successfully in EU and US higher education institutions are overviewed. The overview of gender equality measures is structured according 5 main areas of university activities: organizational man - agement, management of human resources and preparation of future researchers, research, teaching and studies, social structural conditions. These recommendations are aimed to help reach better representation of re - searchers of both genders in science, especially in the fields which traditionally are dominated by certain gender (e.g. men in science and technology or women in hu - manities). While gender equality is a long-term strategic goal, it is important to un - derstand that the proposed gender equality measures are of temporary nature, i.e. applicable for as long as the certain planned gender balance in higher education and research institutions is reached and supported. These recommendations are based on the fundamental assumption that there is no universal model of gender equality policy that the higher education and research institutions could automatically move and use for their organizational structural change. The authors of the recommendations explain the key issues of gender equal - ity in higher education, indicate the difficulties that may be encountered in integrat - ing a gender perspective, describe the necessary steps to ensure effective gender mainstreaming and outline a number of measures that could help to integrate the gender dimension into organizational processes of higher education institutions. ...
