An increased gender equal recruitment procedure of employees and managers gives optimal use of the existing resources. The AIDE consortium is aware of this and the current situation of gender diversity will be monitored during the execution of the project. This Gender Equality Plan is a study performed to be used by the AIDE Consortium to get a statistical overview of the gender balance within the project organisation. It shall be used by all Consortium Partners responsible for allocating resources into the project. The result shows that: o The overall gender balance is very good. o The largest age groups, 20-29, 30-39 years, indicates nearly a 50/50 gender balance. o The male overweight increases with age and management roles. o The gender balance for behavioural researchers is the same as the overall balance , but we have a female overweight on administration and a male overweight on technical research. o The balance per education is the same as the overall balance for college and master degrees, but shows a male overweight for PhD degree. The differences that do exist still reflect the traditional gender roles; women more often have an administrative role compared to men. However, in general, for this project the gender balance is very good. From the view of this study there is no need for any organisational change or any special activities to promote gender balance.
