European Institute for Gender Equality
- European Institute for Gender Equality
The European Institute for Gender Equality is a proposed agency of the European Union whose creation was publicised in the European Official Journal 125 of 25.05.2005. It was decided to locate it in Vilnius, Lithuania. Recruitment of its Director was advertised in April 2007.
Funded by the Commission, with a proposed budget of €52.5 million for the period 2007 to 2013, this new European Institute will support the EU institutions and the Member States in promoting equality between women and men and combating sex discrimination. The Institute will gather, analyse and disseminate reliable and comparable research data and information needed by policy-makers. It will have a documentation centre and a library which will be open to the public.
The Gender Equality Institute will be composed of 6 Members of the European Parliament, 6 Members of the EU Commission and other three representatives from civil society, employers and workers.
