*CFP* "GENDER EQUALITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS", VOL. 12, Nº 2 (2021), REVISTA INVESTIGACIONES FEMINISTAS

Recently, the Spanish Minister of Universities, Manuel Castells, announced that the government intends to incorporate to its next Royal Ordinance on the Ordering of the Official Teaching in the Spanish University Teaching System as a mandatory requirement for all the curricula approved shall include a mandatory teaching related to equality between men and women. Without a doubt, if this new obligation was confirmed, it will lead to the consolidation of a journey that begun almost two decades ago by the international, European and national authorities. With the approval of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the inclusion of gender equality as Sustainable Development Goal no. 5, equality between men and women has been incorporated in the questions susceptible to evaluate the quality of the Institutions of Higher Education and Research (IHER).

One of the most significant contributions to this path by the incorporation of gender perspective in Universities and Research Centres has been the existence of equality plans, and the support to its design and implementation by the European institutions.  The FP7 and H2020 European research programmes have been a strong momentum for the implementation of such plans of equality and the advancement in the achievement of the priorities of the European Research Area (ERA) since 2012 and of the European Strategy for Gender Equality 2020-2025.

This monograph aims to analyse the progress made in this area from an international and interdisciplinary vision that brings the reflections and experiences of women and men experts in the struggle for the achievement of gender equality in these institutions from the priority areas of the above-mentioned European Research Area.

Contributions may include, although are not limited, to the following topics:

• Results of equality plans’ implementation in the framework of the projects financed by European institutions (H2020). 
• Lessons learnt from the implementation of equality plans. 
• Challenges for the implementation and consolidation of gender equality in higher education and research institutions. 
• Access of women to leadership positions in institutions of higher education and research. 
• Gender biases in the choice of academic paths. 
• Mainstreaming of the gender perspective in research and teaching. 
• Harassment by reason of sex in institutions of higher education and research.
