The ERA Forum Sub-group on ‘Inclusive Gender Equality in the ERA’ concludes the ERA Policy Agenda 2022 – 2024 with a position paper presenting its vision for advancing inclusive gender equality in Framework Programme 10 (FP10) and beyond. This pivotal document lays the foundation for the next phase of European research and innovation, envisioning a future built on collaboration, sustainability, and inclusivity. The paper first reviews the recent advances and success in gender equality policy, including the eligibility criterion of Gender Equality Plans and integration of the gender dimension as a default requirement in Horizon Europe. It then offers nine key recommendations across three areas to secure and sustain the progress made through existing policy. Published December 2024.
