WHY: The GE Academy Summer School in TU Dublin will provide participants from higher education and research institutions with advanced knowledge, approaches and tools for the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Gender Equality Plans (GEPs).

It will include seminars, workshops, roundtables and keynotes on the following topics:
- Concepts of gender equality and institutional change in R&I
