Flexible involvement

To ensure that the final tools developed are fully adapted to the end-users’ needs, UniSAFE uses a participatory approach, involving stakeholders and end-users throughout the whole process.

The first community of 46 research performing organisations have participated in:

• Running a survey on gender-based violence among all their staff and students (January – April 2022).
• Sharing their organisation’s existing policies and measures to combat gender-based violence.
• A smaller selection of organisations participated in an in-depth analysis of their response to gender-based violence.

Other universities and research organisations participated in the following activities:

• Co-designing tools
• Testing state-of-the-art tools, providing feedback
• Taking part in pilot trainings and in mutual exchange workshops
• Actively engaging in the community of practice, exchanging, and learning from many other European research organisations
