Common use of GENERA implementation Clause in Contracts

GENERA implementation. The central GEO of MPG is part of the GENERA team which implies that the project is directly linked to the existing gender equality structures and functions. Furthermore, the team can build on already established personal relations and networks to the MPG management and across the institution. Due to internal pressure there is currently high interest among institutes to develop and implement GEPs. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has the chance to use this momentum and support three institutes in developing their GEPs. This is also the main goal of the team. At the beginning of the GENERA project the team approached the three institutes and secured the commitment of the institute directors. However, most interview partners argued that at the time of the interviews only little information about GENERA had been provided. As targets and measures need to be specified in each of the three implementing institutes, it will be important to establish good collaborations with divisional gender equality officers. At the time of the interviews these officers still had to be taken on board and be informed about their role in the implementation process. As they are in many cases new to the post and do not have resources for their work, they need to be empowered and supported on the implementation process as well as on topics for the GEP by the GENERA team.
