OUR OBJECTIVES
Enhance the accessibility of all talent, with emphasis on female talent, to the portfolio of projects and companies within the EIC and the wider EU innovation ecosystem.
Develop a Gender and Diversity (G&D) Index, which will encompass a broad spectrum of indicators pertaining not only to gender but also to diversity factors, spanning across all European Member States and the United Kingdom.
Scrutinise the current baseline and tap into numerous data sources, yet it will deliver distinct value by conducting additional primary research at both quantitative and qualitative levels.
