6. GENERA – current state GENERA Toolbox GENERA Toolbox
Provides a broad set of proven measures and actions (a total of 65) to increase GE in physics and to improve existing GEPs
Toolbox is not a statistic publication, but rather an ongoing process, which will be expanded by adding additional effective measures and actions
Measures and actions are structured by fields of action and can be used in order to enable systematically institutional change in organizations

Description
More information/contact
Contents of the Toolbox
Collection of different measures/actions for inspiring (structural) changes in research organizations
Referred as „good practices“
Successful, systematically embedded in the organizational culture, sustainable, transferable to other disciplines, or with an innovative character
Are derived from practical experience AND they are intended for practical implementation,
Therefore, they are described exactly as they were implemented
 regulars table also included: as one of the results of the Gender in Physics workshop

Pupils
In total 65 , but still being expanded
In some fields of actions are more measures listed than in others – why is this so?
For example: Engaging leadership
gender equality measures are not seen as the first priority in organizations – although they are needed
With the recommendations of different research institutions and universities we have found out some needs of action  like in the field of the leadership
The next steps regarding these findings will be, to find some measures that work in these fields (by research or further surveys or simple exchange in the community – just like here)

GENERA Roadmap
Roadmap is a basic structure for the implementation of customized GEPs:
Sequence of steps:
Description of each step
Key Actions (check list with guiding questions)
Hints & Resources (references to documents)
Individual Conditions (specific characteristics of the organization, documentation of important steps, experiences, successes, challenges, solution approaches, etc.)
Roadmap allows a high level of customization: customization decisions based on the framework conditions of the organization
Evaluation of the GENERA Roadmap is planned:
after gathering first implementation experiences, regular workshops with IMs will be held. The findings from these discussions will help improve the design of the GENERA Roadmap with regard to specific needs of implementing GEPs in physics.
GENERA Roadmap
Creation process:
Exchange with the IMs: their needs and experiences are the basis for the Roadmap
Evaluation of existing GEPs and roadmaps / guidelines
Definition of the whole process and of each individual step during implementation of GEPs to meet the needs of organisations
Describing all activities supporting the implementation of customized GEPs
