This network provides independent information and advice to the European Commission on equality and non-discrimination developments in 36 European countries (the EU Member States, EFTA countries and EU candidate countries).

The Postdoc will join this team.
Every year the network publishes thematic reports on current topics of EU gender equality law. Recent reports concerned gender balanced company boards and gender equality and the collaborative economy. The network also produces the biannual European Equality Law Review, as well as general country reports providing a comprehensive overview of the implementation of EU gender equality law at the national level. For more information about the network and the full-texts of its reports, please visit the website.
