Advancing Gender Equality is central to HOLiFOOD in line with the European Commission’s Gender Equality Strategy for 2020-2025, which includes promoting gender equality in research and innovation (see EU website).

HOLiFOOD project members are committed to improve equality in relation to all project activities through setting clear goals, detailed actions and appropriate measures to assess impact, in relation to research objectives, the methodological approaches applied, impact pathways and policy translation, as well as appointment of researchers to the project, equality within the work environment, and facilitation of career development.

Addressing equality will also include addressing the internal values, strategies, and governance structure of HOLiFOOD.
