SUPPORTER Final conference
Advancing Gender+ Equality
in Widening Higher Education Institutions
đź“… 4-5 June 2025
đź“Ś Prague, Charles University
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:

Day 1: Raising awareness about gender equality and gender-based violence
This session highlights the importance of tackling gender inequality and gender-based violence within sports ecosystems, including higher education. By fostering dialogue and reflection, it seeks to empower participants with a deeper understanding of these pressing issues.
- Target audience: Students, staff, and local stakeholders in the sports field.

Day 2: Advancing Gender Equality Plans in Widening higher education institutions: Challenges, Insights, and Strategies
This full-day event centres on SUPPORTER's 4I-GEP framework. It aims to inspire knowledge exchange and collaboration, offering practical insights for developing and implementing inclusive GEPs tailored to specific ecosystems.
- Target audience: Stakeholders responsible for designing and executing gender equality plans in higher education.
