SUPPORTER Final conference

Advancing Gender+ Equality
in Widening Higher Education Institutions

đź“… 4-5 June 2025

Over the past years, the SUPPORTER project has supported sports higher education institutions in Central Eastern Europe in developing Intersectional, Innovative, Inclusive, and Impactful Gender Equality Plans (4I-GEPs) that explicitly address gender-based violence and sexual harassment. As the project ends, this final conference will bring together sports students, researchers, policymakers, and gender equality practitioners to showcase the knowledge and insights gained during this journey.

The final conference, which will be held June 4–5, 2025, has two distinct yet interconnected parts, each addressing a crucial aspect of gender equality:
