MULTIDISCIPLINARY
GAPP – Gender Awareness participation processhttp://www.gendergapp.eu/
GAPP is a two-year project funded by the European Union (involving Italy, Portugal, Poland, Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium) meant to explore gender differences in the choice of a science career.
Imagining Ourselves
http://imaginingourselves.imow.org/pb/Welcome.aspx
What Defines Your Generation of Women? In the Fall of 2001, Paula Goldman partnered with the International Museum of Women. They sent this question out by email to women aged twenty to forty around the world—and received thousands of replies from over 105 countries. The goals of Imagining Ourselves are to increase young women in leadership positions, to connect our esteemed partners (such as the Global Fund for Women and the World YWCA) to a broad audience, and to increase international community among this first global generation of women. The magic happens when young women are able to form connections across international boundaries—and use those connections to improve each other’s lives.
EuroWistdom
http://www.eurowistdom.eu/
The EU-sponsored EuroWistdom (European Women in Science TV Drama On Message) project seeks to build on the many years of experience gained from a British initiative set up by BBC Producers. It aims to find new ways of using science and technology as a source of inspiration for themes and characters in popular TV formats, and to develop positive role models for young women rather than the usual clichéd stereotypes. The project provides financial and other support for European TV scriptwriters and producers seeking to make current science and technology issues a central focus of their work, and to view these from a female perspective. This is done by putting them in contact with scientists who have interesting stories to tell.
European Platform of Women Scientists
http://www.epws.org/
From its location in Brussels the European Platform of Women Scientists seeks to support the work of a whole range of existing national, European and international networks of women scientists by “networking the networks”. At the same time the platform aims to make women scientists better understand the role they can play in the research policy debate and how to fully benefit from these opportunities by bundling their powers and forces.
Portia
http://www.portiaweb.org/
The purpose of this site is to provide a gateway into Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) for individuals and organisations working towards more equal representation and advancement of women in SET. Portia works with key players and target groups to deliver projects and initiatives of common interest.
Academic Climate

The goal of the AWIS Project on Academic Climate was to provide the means for creating a better institutional climate for women in science.
The Central European Centre for Women and Youth in Science (CEC-WYS)
http://www.cec-wys.org/html/
The Central European Centre for Women and Youth in Science (CEC-WYS), funded by the European Commission under Structuring the ERA priority of Framework Programme 6, was established in spring 2004 with the goal of promoting and supporting women and young people in science in Central Europe. The consortium brings together partners from Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Romania, France and Italy. Some objectives are aimed specifically at women in Central Europe (e.g., a database of women experts, FP6 expert evaluation project, and training on responsible scientific conduct), others at young people in R&D in the region, some at the research community in general (e.g., a training on inclusion of gender dimension in FP6 proposals) and research policy implementation (policy monitoring and lobbying at national and international level with respect to gender equality in Central European R&D by following up the work and suggestions made in the ENWISE report of the European Commission and to develop a best practice manual to facilitate the establishment of similar centres in other parts of the Eastern Europe).
