On July 1st, 2021, the CoAct project launched three open calls, inviting European civil society initiatives to apply for our cascading grants of max. EUR 20.000,- to conduct Citizen Social Science research on the topic of Gender Equality.
The calls officially closed on September 30th, 2021. During these three months, CoAct facilitated several sessions and activities to disseminate the calls across our targeted communities in Europe. A total of 15 applications were received from civil society initiatives in Germany, Slovakia, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Italy, and Greece.
We are now excited to announce the results, and to warmly welcome the winners of the open calls on Gender Equality!
Following a rigorous evaluation and selection process, we have nominated the following organizations:
