ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION
Institutional progresses and structural changes introduced by the GARCIA Project need to be evaluated.
The Project will conduct a self assessment, in order to estimate the impact of the measures adopted by the participating universities and non university research institutions and to evaluate to what extent these measures have promoted gender equality.
The evaluation will take into account the different institutions and the different disciplines involved, the SSH on the one hand and the STEM fields on the other hand.
The results will also be used to provide guidelines and recommendations for other universities and non university research institutions, with the aim of implementing the GARCIA activities in different contexts.
