The Equal Opportunities Observatory (OPO) works to promote, monitor and develop equal opportunities policies across the University of Milano-Bicocca.
In particular, the OPO:
-
coordinates, monitors and supports the implementation of the Gender Equality Plan (GEP);
-
informs the University's governing bodies of the outcomes of monitoring activities and the measures taken to promote equal opportunities;
-
monitors and supports equal opportunities initiatives, promoting concrete action across the various dimensions of equality. Particular attention is given to an intersectional approach, encompassing gender equality policies, inclusion, and the recognition of cultural differences, diverse abilities, different stages of life and specific educational needs;
-
identifies training needs in the field of equal opportunities, designs and delivers innovative, participatory and accessible training programmes, and monitors their effectiveness;
-
encourages dialogue and collaboration across the University, creating opportunities for joint reflection on existing policies and initiatives, as well as the co-design of new activities aimed at development, communication and dissemination, including those related to the University's third and fourth missions.
The Gender Equality Plan 2025–2027 is developed and monitored by a Working Group established by Rectoral Decree available in Italian.
