The European Training Network (ETN) G-VERSITY – Achieving Gender Diversity is an interdisciplinary and intersectoral doctoral training network for early stage researchers. G-VERSITY aims at fostering new kinds of expertise and jobs needed in Europe to help employers overcome the underrepresentation of women, men, and sexual and gender minority Groups (SGMs).
The network constitutes a prototype for innovative doctoral training on gender diversity research. G-VERSITY joins 9 leading European research groups from psychology, education, management, business administration, media and communication studies with 9 non-academic partners, a city administration, two public broadcasting service, a media training centre, an aviation training centre, and 3 non-profit organisations. From interdisciplinary perspectives the network “G-VERSITY – Achieving Gender Diversity” will determine how significant background factors affect educational and professional pathways of women and men, including sexual and gender minorities, and produce scientifically based interventions for use in the workplace—including workshops, guidelines, and training materials, to be applied by employers to attain gender diversity.
