Our commitment:

• Ensuring a respectful, safe and inclusive working culture.
• Promoting equal opportunities in recruitment, career development and leadership.
• Supporting work–life balance through fl exible and hybrid work models.
• Monitoring progress with gender-disaggregated data and transparent reporting.
• Addressing gender in our research and innovation activities wherever relevant.
• Preventing and responding to any form of harassment or discrimination with zero tolerance.

Key actions

• Training: Annual awareness sessions for all employees and tailored training for managers and hiring panels.
• Data & transparency: Annual collection and publication of gender equality indicators (recruitment, pay, progression, leadership).
• Targets: Strive for balanced gender representation in leadership and project decision-making bodies by 2027.
• Support: Dedicated resources (€5,000 per year, 0.3 FTE staff time) to implement, monitor and improve this Plan.

Accountability

This GEP is endorsed by Dataslab’s top management and will be reviewed annually. A progress report will be shared publicly each spring. For questions, concerns or confi dential advice, please contact gep@dataslab.eu .
