Building from the origins of the movement – sparked by public outrage over accountability and governance failures – the speakers from the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Chemistry: Dr. Maja Šumar Ristović (associate professor)\, Sladjana Savić Jovanović (PhD candidate/teaching assistant)\, and Danica Andjelic (undergraduate student) will trace how university protests evolved into wider demonstrations and how authorities have responded\, including pressure on academic institutions and confrontations around the University of Belgrade. The discussion will focus on how right-wing conservatism and illiberal governance trends can constrain academic freedoms through intimidation\, reputational attacks\, procedural pressure\, and shrinking space for dissent\, including how the current developments may affect women and men differently in academia and public life (e.g. exposure to harassment\, risk-taking\, caregiving\, and differential access to voice and leadership). Finally\, the speakers will outline practical ways universities\, staff\, and students can defend academic freedom – through solidarity\, documentation\, collective action\, and institutional safeguards that protect speech and participation. \n \n Register now\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nShare with your network!\n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email URL:https://gendersafe.eu/event/academic_justice_serbia/ CATEGORIES:Conference,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://gendersafe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Academic-Search-for-Justice-in-Serbia.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260217T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260217T163000 DTSTAMP:20260524T223948 CREATED:20251124T141636Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251124T143023Z UID:8234-1771340400-1771345800@gendersafe.eu SUMMARY:Webinar on Data Protection in Gender-Based Violence Cases DESCRIPTION:GenderSAFE Webinar:\nRethinking Data Protection in Academia:A Path Toward Privacy and Accountabilityin Gender-Based Violence Cases\n with Dr. Tommaso Soave\, in conversation with Diana Puerto Michaut \n17 February 2026\, 15:00-16:30 CET  \n \n Register Now!\n \n \n \n \n \n This webinar will explore how a victim-centred and trauma-informed approach to data protection can be effectively implemented in cases of gender-based violence within Higher Education Institutions in Europe.

The result is a persistent gap between formal commitments and the lived realities of staff and students. The GenderSAFE Institutional Assessment Tool provides a structured framework to evaluate an organisation’s capacity and progress in addressing gender-based violence and supports institutions in adopting coherent\, sustainable strategies across prevention\, protection\, provision of services\, prosecution\, partnerships\, and policy (7P model).  \nJoin us on Wednesday\, 26 November at 11.00 CET to explore how this tool can turn reflection into action. You’ll learn how the self-assessment is structured\, what kind of tailored feedback institutions receive\, tips and advice on completing the assessment\, and how repeating the exercise over time can support meaningful development and inform policy cycles. Universities that have already tested the tool will share their experience\, offering practical insight into its usefulness\, added value and next steps.  \nThe session brings together those involved in the development and early testing of the tool: Marcela Linková (Czech Academy of Sciences)\, Panagiota Polykarpou (Yellow Window)\, Iveta Bayerová (Charles University) and Rachel Payne & Jennifer Kirman (Oxford Brookes University).

However\, in higher education\, shared understandings of appropriate boundaries are often lacking. At the same time\, power imbalances between staff and early career researchers (PhDs\, postdoctoral researchers) create a context where sexual harassment and other abuses of power are more likely to occur; around 10% of women postgraduate students are targeted for sexual harassment during their studies (Cantor et al\, 2019; Australian Human Rights Commission\, 2017). \nIn this webinar\, Dr Anna Bull will introduce key points relating to professional boundaries in academic settings\, followed by the discussion of an anonymised case study\, used with permission\, of boundary-blurring behaviours. This will be followed by a conversation in plenary and a Q&A session. The case study\, along with details of how we will hold a safer space\, will be shared a few days in advance of the session. \n \nLearning objectives\n\nTo introduce the concept of professional boundaries and explore its relevance in academic settings\nTo recognise boundary-blurring behaviours that constitute or enable sexual harassment\nTo understand how power imbalances and poor professional boundaries contribute to enabling sexual harassment to occur\n\nTarget audience\n\nUniversity students (all levels)\, early career researchers\, academic staff.\nAny staff involved in supporting postgraduate research students and supervisors\nAny staff involved in addressing gender-based violence in higher education (e.g. Gender Equality officers\, Gender Equality committees\, task forces or working groups on gender-based violence\, human resources personnel and legal advisors\, etc.).\n\nFacilitation and moderation\nThe webinar will be facilitated by Dr Anna Bull (University of York) and moderated by Ana Belén Amil (Central European University). \n \n Register now\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nShare with your network!\n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email URL:https://gendersafe.eu/event/webinar-professional-boundaries-and-sexual-harassment-in-academic-settings/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://gendersafe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/GenderSAFE-webi.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20241023T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20241023T160000 DTSTAMP:20260524T223948 CREATED:20240919T101639Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241029T090953Z UID:6965-1729693800-1729699200@gendersafe.eu SUMMARY:Introductory webinar on gender-based violence in academia and the 7P framework: Focus on the Italian context [in Italian] DESCRIPTION:  Webinar introduttivo sulla violenza di genere nel mondo accademico e sul modello delle 7P: Focus sul contesto nazionale italiano\n_____\nIntroductory webinar on gender-based violence in academia and the 7P framework: Focus on the Italian context\n \nWatch the replay!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n[English below]  Il webinar affronta il tema della violenza di genere nel mondo accademico\, concentrandosi sul modello di policy delle 7P (Prevalence\, Prevention\, Protection\, Prosecution\, Provision of services\, Partnerships and Policies) che è stato sviluppato nell’ambito del progetto UniSAFE e che si sta ulteriormente approfondendo e sperimentando nel progetto GenderSAFE.
