| Description: | GENIS LAB consortium is a convention focusing on organisational dynamics, whose aim is to improve the work conditions of women and men in research organisations. The systematic approach consists of three levels: * the organisational level (definition and identification of specific management tools implementing the structural changes); * social/environmental level (training for HR managers aimed at fighting against gender stereotypes); * transnational European level (developing of the individual gender equality plan based on the outcomes of the organisational level, support and promotion of structural changes).
