Triggering Institutional Change towards Gender Equality in Science are the Final Guidelines of the TRIGGER Project, a fourth wave structural change project funded by the EC. Besides implementing five gender action plans and promoting mutual learning initiatives inside and outside the project consortium, TRIGGER paid particular attention to the wider debate about how institutional changes towards gender equality can actually happen. The reflection has also involved representatives of other EU-funded similar project, who accepted to share their experience through workshops, interviews and further documents to illustrate their cases.
The TRIGGER Final Guidelines offers an integrated model of the process of change that has been developed on the basis of 4 years of mutual learning outputs and the theoretical set-up of the project. The publication goes through the four main components of the institutional change process, which have been conventionally identified and operationally distinguished taking into account that in reality they often tend to overlap. These components are: Transformational Agent, Activation and Mobilisation, Making an Impact, and Sustainability.
