A major goal of GARNET is not only to increase the participation of women in research, particularly younger scholars, but also to include the gender dimensions throughout all  asepcts of GARNET research and activity. The aim is to increase knowledge of the gender issues in the area of globalisation, regionalisation, global governance as it pertains to the EU. Moreover, we have addressed and embedded gender issues within the broader issues under discussion in the NoE. Both strategies are discussed below:

• We intend to disseminate the insights learned in both academic circles and the policy community. Our intention is to encourage the adoption of gender relevant policy recommendations at various levels in the structure of governance (especially the EU, and the international institutions such as the WTO, IWF, World Bank).
• To boost the gender equality of researchers we have also made considerable efforts in including a large number of women at both the senior research level and at the post-doctoral and PhD levels.
• To ensure that the stated goals are met, both in terms of increasing the number of women in research and including the gender dimensions in research throughout the funding period of the NoE, we will monitor the implementation of these commitments. For this purpose, a member of the NoE has been elected to the Management Committee with the specific function of advancing and overseeing the progress made to boost gender equality in GARNET.
