FEMETRICS LAB
Call for contributions and funded conference participation in Florence, Italy
Deadline: 15 September 2024
FEMETRICS is a project funded under the European University Institute’s Widening Europe Programme. It addresses gender data gaps by assessing official statistics providers, highlighting the non-economic aspect of genderdata availability, capturing the broader wellbeing of women and girls, and
analysing policy and legal frameworks. It combines policy analysis with data science and focuses on intra- and inter-generational equity by analysing the state of affairs of sex-/gender-disaggregated data and pathways to such data at EU level and in the 15 EU member states targeted by the EUI Widening
Europe Programme. The project is led by Jaromír Harmáček, Bogna Pietlinska and Gaby Umbach.
