The H2020 project CASPER is organizing an open e-discussion on the GenPORT portal to comment on three possible scenarios for a European award/certification system for gender equality in research performing organizations. The three proposed Gender Equality Certification/Award Schemes (GECAS) have been developed by the CASPER consortium based upon an extensive assessment of existing certification schemes and needs across Europe and include: (1) a new EU-wide GECAS, (2) a Gender Equality Strategy for Researchers (GES4R), and (3) the Europeanisation of a national GECAS – Athena SWAN.
