The ERA Forum Sub-group on ‘Inclusive Gender Equality in the ERA’ concludes the ERA Policy Agenda 2022 – 2024 with a position paper presenting its vision for advancing inclusive gender equality in Framework Programme 10 (FP10) and beyond.

It then offers nine key recommendations across three areas to secure and sustain the progress made through existing policy. Published December 2024.
