INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

TA CR is also involved in promoting gender equality in the activities of research funders at the international level. In 2015, it joined the GENDER-NET ERA-NET consortium as an observer.

In the successor project GENDER-NET Plus ERA-NET Cofund (2017–2023), TA CR became a full-fledged partner. The main objective of this project was to promote the integration of the gender dimension in research content by launching an international call for projects that apply this perspective.

Support from Horizon 2020 was received also by the GEECCO project (2017–2021), in which TA CR led a work package dedicated to the role of research funders in promoting gender equality in research in technical fields (STEM).

From 2022 to 2025, TA CR took part in the GENDERACTIONplus project (Horizon Europe), which sought to enhance the coordination of activities promoting gender equality in research, thereby contributing to the realisation of ERA objectives in this area. Within the framework of the project, TA CR primarily focused on activities that sought to integrate the gender dimension into the content of research and innovation.
