Yes / Higher Education [HE] policy makers play a major role in the application of international standards on
gender equality. Depending on the particular characteristics of each Higher Education organisation,
this responsibility is borne and/or shared by specific actors that may be located in Human Resources
departments, and/or could be strategically placed throughout the organisational structure. It also
rests on the actions and commitment of senior leaders and managers, who are visual and powerful
champions for structural change. Either way, policy actors are particularly involved in monitoring
and evaluation processes, and policy implementation, as well as legitimation of gender equality
standards. Therefore, it is fundamental to work with a clear roadmap to integrate gender equality
into organisational change, which would sustain context-specific, legally compliant and responsive
policies that meet international and national standards of gender equality and non-discrimination.
Accordingly, this resource offer a hands-on and transparent approach to gender mainstreaming in
Higher Education institutions, constituting a support tool for policy makers and actors involved in
policy development and implementation, which is key for regulating and legitimating organisational
transformation along gender sensitive, gender competent, gender balanced and gender equal
principles. / FP7
