Consortium
GenderSAFE relies on a strong multi-disciplinary consortium of six European partners. The strength of the consortium is based on the partners’ in-depth knowledge and extensive collaborative track record on researching gender-based violence, transforming academic insights into operational tools, and knowledge dissemination.
European Science Foundation (France)
ESF is a non-profit organisation that supports scientific research across Europe by providing high-quality, independent science operations to the European Research Area.

They have considerable background acting as ‘Project Office’ for EC projects, and coordinating a wide range of pan-European scientific initiatives, programmes and H2020 projects, including UniSAFE.
ESF coordinates GenderSAFE and will ensure effective impact of the project’s findings, specifically focusing on awareness raising, communication and dissemination.
