Call for Gender & Diversity Project Proposals Autumn 2025

Since 2019, ELLIIT has been setting aside a budget to broader societal goals, such as promoting gender equality in STEM research. The allocated budget can cover both time for the contributing researchers and the actual costs of relevant activities. We now invite researchers from Lund University and Linköping University to submit proposals for gender & diversity initiatives. Proposals must contain:

1. description of the proposed activity (1 paragraph),
2. goals and process for follow-up (1 paragraph),
3. responsible person (name, e-mail, telephone),
4. proposed budget and timeline

We encourage activities involving multiple ELLIIT partners (including HH and BTH). Activities may include but are not limited to:

• career support to and mentoring of young researchers by underrepresented gender,
• activities aimed at providing researchers the opportunity to be seen as role models in basic education
• networking and information activities,
• staff training,
• visiting researcher stays, courses, conferences,
• outreach activities at schools. 

Examples of initiatives funded earlier can be found at https://elliit.se/education-outreach/outreach/elliit-gender-and-diversity-group/.

The deadline for submitting the proposals is August 31, 2025.

Proposals should be submitted to GenDiv-ELLIIT@groups.liu.se and will be reviewed during September 2025.
