This project tackles the challenge of attracting and retaining minoritized groups in math-intensive STEM fields. It aims to transform higher education curricula and culture by incorporating gender and diversity perspectives. The project builds university and research capacity to reform education systems and ensures sustainability by training local "critical friends" as trainers across Europe.

The project's activities focus on: • Collecting resources, including evidence-based research, best practices, and toolboxes • Developing blended learning courses for young higher education teachers • Conducting transformative, bifocal mentorship programs for early-stage researchers • Training trainers as "critical friends" to build future capacity • Organizing conferences and outreach events

The consortium, part of the GENERA Network, will facilitate widespread dissemination across Europe, since it represents a wide range of expertise and experience in the application of gender perspective and promotion of equality, diversity and inclusion within math-intensive STEM fields. The activities of the project will support institutions in introducing a gender and diversity perspective in the curricula, raising their capacity and incorporate trained trainers to support future development.
