The objectives of FemPower were to: O1. Develop methodologies and tools to establish gender mainstreaming in the CET and share results with relevant stakeholders during MEs in the 5 HEIs. O2. Develop, test and evaluate a MOOC, an interactive map, and a gender mainstreaming checklist for HEIs in the field of CET to raise gender awareness in CET education and increase female participation in research activities. O3. Develop, test and evaluate gender inclusive co-creation methodologies for cross-sectoral and international cooperation in the field of CET. O4. Develop gender inclusive STEAM educational methodologies in the field of CET to support, empower and improve the gender awareness of the students and staff in the participating HEIs as well as increase their skills for the CET. Each HEIs partner also was to integrate at least two of these practices in their technical curriculum. O5. Develop gender inclusive CET STEAM activities for Secondary Education to increase the number of students and especially girls interested in CET careers. O6. Ensure and promote future long-term sustainability of the implemented solutions, create and maintain the Fem to FemPower Peer Learning Network, as well as disseminate all PRs.
Τhe Clean Energy Transition (CET) has been recognized both on an EU and an international level as a strategy of major importance towards the reduction of greenhouse emissions and the fight against climate change. Gender inclusion and diversity arises as an important factor in the Clean Energy Transition (CET), since women are underrepresented in the energy sector, and energy research rarely considers aspects of gender, even though ideas and behaviour differ among genders. All partners of the consortium were already active in the field of Clean Energy Transition, Gender Equality or STEAM education before this project. Through our diverse backgrounds and nature, we envisioned collaborating to answer questions, as well as highlight and promote the importance of gender equality in CET. At the same time, through FemPower, all partners strived to increase the quality and relevance of their activities, develop and reinforce their networks of local/regional/national/EU and international partners, increase their capacity to operate jointly at transnational level, and boost internationalisation of their activities.
