UniSAFE final conference: From policy to practice - Pathways to end gender-based violence in academia and research
As universities and research organisations are increasingly involved in tackling gender-based violence, they often lack guidance on where to start or how to ensure that their policies and measures are comprehensive enough to be efficient.
Looking from a holistic perspective – using the 7P framework (prevalence, prevention, protection, prosecution, provision of services, partnerships, policies), the conference will discuss the opportunities and limitations of existing frameworks for institutional policymaking, while presenting practical recommendations based on UniSAFE’s research. It will also unveil the project’s brand-new toolkit for universities and research organisations intent on working towards a safe, violence-free higher education and research environments. Discover the full programme here!
Who is the conference for?
The conference is open to all stakeholders engaged in this topic and particularly addresses policymakers, decision-makers in university and research organisations and relevant actors for partnerships at all levels (university networks, research funding organisations), as well as gender equality officers.

Find out more about UniSAFE
Over the past three years, UniSAFE has been investigating the prevalence of gender-based violence in academia and research, as well as institutions’ responses and existing policy frameworks. Its widescale survey – taken by 42,000 staff and students from 45 organisations in 15 countries – has provided solid and comparable data, which has been analysed and compared with results from interviews, policy mapping and case studies of institutional responses. This knowledge has been translated into concrete tools and recommendations, including a White Paper for policy makers.
