Including toward academic and administrative staff but also students in line with best practices and the state of the art as well as the legal framework in force in Bosnia and Herzegovina and relevant regulations stemming from our participation in the EU’s Horizon Europe programme.
To that end, we are partaking in the Universities and Gender Mainstreaming (UNIGEM) project implemented by the TPO Foundation and funded by the UK Embassy in Sarajevo, have developed and are implementing a university-wide Gender Action Plan, have founded the Gender Issues Advisory Board, and have introduced a thematic course on gender equality called Gender Equality in Society as a university elective course.
The UNIGEM project aims to prevent and combat gender-based violence, discrimination, and sexual harassment and ensure integrity and quality in higher education by providing support to 19 universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia in implementing gender equality policies, including educational courses, student exchanges, and trainings for staff.
