3rd Edition of the Specialized Course
The participation on the 3rd Edition of the Specialized Course on Gender Equality enriched me deeply professionally and personally. As a superior technician of a local municipality, the knowledge acquired through this course is a valuable tool for the designing of the action plans and documents adequate to the local context, which promote gender equality in every domain of action of the municipality. On a personal level, it was wonderful to share this learning experience with such qualified professors and amazing classmates from diverse backgrounds, professionally, academically and geographically.

The participation on the 3rd Edition of the Specialized Course was highly enriching both on a personal and professional level. This course happened to not only contribute to entrench the knowledge on gender equality I already had but also to estimulate my capacity for reflection, argumentation and critical analysis. I would like to emphasize the earnest and level of professional experience of the academic staff and board, which was relentless when it came to clarify any questions as well as in providing complementary information. The multidisciplinary group of students, who came from various professional areas, was deeply advantageous, with the professors and trainers incentivating the debate and sharing of ideas and experiences among the group. As a woman, citizen, feminist and communication professional, I recommend this specialized course to everyone who as any interest in deepening knowledge on this issues.

The participation on the 2nd Edition of the Specialized Course on Gender Equality was significantly fruitful both professionally and personally, not only due to the higly qualified professors/trainers but also the the program contents. Working on Gender Equality and everything wth it related recquires capacity for reflection and deep knowledge on the history of feminism, which was accomplished with the contribution of everyone who participated on the specialized course, coming from different areas.

I would like to congratulate CIEG on the organization of this course, which surpassed my expecations. It was very estimulating to reflect and rethink gender equality from various approachs, discussing and questioning this issues with an academic staff of excelence. Being able to articulate the knowledge acquired in this course with the things I work with on a daily basis was a significantly positive point. I recommend this specialized course, not only as a professional added value, but also due to the serious and solidate teaching, which promotes critical thinking and strengthens the activist fight for equality of rights.

An enriching experience in every level, not only academically, on account of the trainers/professors' competence, and the interest and social relevance of the issues discussed, but also for the opportunity to debate with such interlecutors themes of personal importance.

The Specialized Course on Gender Equality add to reinforce base knowledge for my intervention as technician of the Centro de Cultura e Intervenção Feminista da UMAR. On a personal level, the certification by ISCSP-iFOR adds value to my CV, and as an activist it is always of importance to reconcile learning/research wih action in order to promote Gender Equality.

As a technician in a public entity for policies on equality, with 15 years of experience in the equality area, I enroled in CIEG's specialized course with little expectations, thinking I wouldn't learn (almost) nothing new. I couldn't be more mistaken. Reflecting and debating with dis group of professors/trainers and classmates was a highly gratifying and enriching experience. The greatest learning I take is that there is not a virtual reality nor digital library that substitutes the exchange of experiences in an academic context. If I could I would do a course like this every year. Thank you CIEG.

It was with great satisfation that I took part of the 1st Edition of the Specialized Course on Gender Equality, organized by ISCSP-iFOR and with the support of CIEG.
Through the discussion of various issues, from discrimination to gender violence, from traffic to sexual exploration, from sexual harrassment to work valorization, from feminine genital mutilation to early marriage, from participation to women's lidership in every level of decision making, and other themes; the 1st Edition of the Specialized Course promoted the comprehension and discussion of these issues, according to the various experiences and contexts of the participants.
It represented an important tool for the awarness of the role each one can offer, be it in an individual or institution level, in order to promote the accomplishment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, aiming at a just and developed society.
A big thank you to ISCSP, for the iniciative, to Professor Anália Torres, Professor Dália Costa, to the trainers and the students of the 1st Edition of the Specialized Course!

The second edition of the inter-university PhD programme on Gender Studies began in the academic year 2019/2020, resulting from a consortium between Institute of Political ans Social Sciences (ISCSP-ULisboa), NOVA School of Law and NOVA Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities.
This doctoral programme's mission is to contribute to the affirmation of Gender Studies as an autonomous scientific field of research and advanced education. Moreover, it prepares and trains researchers, other professionals, senior officials and other managers on analysing critically and reflectively themes related to gender, and then intervene in various sectors and social and political activities.
In order to mark the beginning of the second edition of the doctoral programme, the Opening Conference of the Phd on Gender Studies 2019/2020 was held on the 4th of Novembre at ISCSP-ULisboa. Professor Lígia Amâncio (Professora Catedrática at ISCTE-IUL and Coordinator of the european project SAGE - Systemic Action for Gender Equality) was a speaker at this conference.
On the 24th of October 2019, the seminar Public policy, atittudes and values. Perspectives and analysis stemmed from the ESS 8 data (Políticas públicas, atitudes e valores. Perspetivas e análises a partir dos dados do ESS 8) was held at ISCSP-ULisboa.
The European Social Survey (ESS) is an internatinal survey which collects transnational comparative information on attitudes and behaviours. This is particularly suitable for Poltical and Social Sciences and Portugal is a part of this survey since the beginning of it in 2022.
This session had the goal to enlighten the attendees on the multiple applications of the database. This database is one of the most useful for comparative European analyses and has free access. All of this allows richer analyses and researches, which will increase its potencial as a publicated research/work.
On the 18th of July 2019 the session for the presentation of the Gender Equality In Higher Education Institutions project was held at ISCSP-ULisboa. This project is funded by EEA Grants 2014-2014 and promoted by Direção-Geral do Ensino Superior (DGES). Its operating entity is the Comission for Citizenshio and Gender Equality (CIG). Its scientific officer is the Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies (CIEG/ISCSP-Ulisboa). GE-HEI project - Gender Equality in Higher Education Institutions has a partnership with the Institute for Gender, Equality and Difference at the University of Iceland (RIKK) and with the Agência de Avaliação e Acreditação do Ensino Superior (A3ES).
In comparison with the the other OECD countries, Portugal has a high number of women with advanced education levels (bachelor, masters and doctorate degrees) and a relatively high number of women researchers in areas traditionally male-oriented, such as sciences, technologies and mathematics. However, this women's participation decreases greatly when we analyze management positions and higher academic positions in the Higher Education Institutions (Departments' Offices, Rectory and Vice-Rectories, Catedráticos/as, etc.). One of the goals of this project is to understand the factors that are able to explain the inequalities at the level of the Higher Education Institutions, to then better identify and fight them. To accomplish this goal, the project will analyse thoroughly these dynamics and elaborate a set of recommendations to the development of gender equality criteria in Higher Education Institutions.
This project is coordinated by Maria José Magalhães.
