Advancing Gender Equality in Sport: How Eight Universities Co-Created Inclusive GEPs

The SUPPORTER project is collaborating with eight sports higher education institutions across Central and Eastern Europe to develop Inclusive, Innovative, Intersectional, and Impactful Gender Equality Plans (4I-GEPs).

Each plan is the result of a three-year journey rooted in evidence, collaboration, and the realities of the sports sector. It all started with in-depth audits to understand gender dynamics and challenges—especially gender-based violence—within each institution. Based on the findings, the universities worked with expert partners to design roadmaps and later co-develop tailored Gender Equality Plans.

These plans are now officially endorsed and published, showing a clear commitment to gender equality in sports education.
