Europe’s Centre of Excellence on Inclusive Gender Equality in Research & Innovation
Creating Knowledge and Engaging in Collaborative Action
INSPIRE strengthens the evidence base while supporting communities of practice to tackle intersecting inequalities in research organisations across the public and private sectors throughout Europe.
How can we help
Produce high quality research on inclusive gender equality in Research and Innovation
Create a sustainable and effective support eco-system for equality practitioners
Develop methods, indicators and services to drive change towards inclusive gender equality
Provide evidence to facilitate effective dialogue among research, practitioners and policy makers
Knowledge & Support Hubs
Four thematic Knowledge and Support Hubs provide a bi-directional gateway between research and equality practitioners. Each Hub will carry out dedicated research and support three Communities of Practice.
About us
We are a group of leading academic institutions and research organisations with extensive experience and knowledge of Gender Equality policies and practices.


INSPIRE aims to build up the knowledge base and provide support for inclusive gender equality plans, providing the know-how on how to take an intersectional approach to gender equality in research organisations.
