GREAT NEWS!!
In a slightly different team we applied for another EU grant. To create a second phase, a follow up for this great project, we decided to use the outcomes of our researches (and lots of other researches) to dive into the gender equality in family businesses. We really hope this new project (WE GROW) will be rewarded with a grant in the next Months. Proposed starting date: Q4-2025.
We will keep you posted!
Our why
Gender diversity on corporate boards:
A road to sustainability
Gender diversity in corporate decision making would lead to a development in economic and social welfare.
In this project, internal corporate governance mechanisms and best practices, common to different cultures within Europe that promote gender diversity will be identified and promoted through adult education modules. Thus, the main aim of the project is to identify the internal corporate governance mechanisms that support “gender diversity and women voice” on corporate boards for different cultures and find the commonalities to promote them across countries.
Since the project partners have diversified cultural and regulatory profiles, the company policies and best practices will have more generalizability globally. Thus, an impactful contribution to the global corporate governance principles is expected.
Based on international interviews and existing literature, we have developed an e-book and learning modules to encourage gender diversity in boards. The reason: gender diversity on boards can lead to better long-term decisions
For this Erasmus funded project we have organised an online webinar for (future) board members.
Would you like to learn more about our approach and conclusions? Are you curious about our e-book and the digital learning modules on gender diversity for (future) board members? Download the e-book for all results.
If you are interested in more info about our research, we are creating an e-book. The first draft you can already dowload here.
