The British Council programme Women in Science, part of Going Global Partnerships, seeks to increase the presence of women in STEM careers, taking a systemic change approach which also promotes gender and social inclusion within the higher education sector in Brazil.
The British Council is looking for a UK-based consultant to support the introduction of a gender equality framework to higher education, science, technology institutions in Brazil, drawing upon successful models in the UK, namely Athena Swan. The consultant will also support 10 higher education, science and technology institutions in Brazil (previously selected by the British Council via the UK - Brazil Gender Equality Partnerships Grants) to develop their Gender Equality Policies.
This pilot project will foster a new ecosystem based on building competencies of Brazilian institutions through ongoing support and engagement, in a mutual learning process between Brazil and the UK.
