"GeNeus" Project

The project

The latest neuropsychological science research proves that women have different intellectual strengths (e.g. planning of actions, social competences, conflict solving), than men (more mathematical and virtual strengths). At the same time most of the tests and evaluations carried out by universities, employment agencies, schools and s.o. are based on parameters which are much more favorable for male applicants.

The project GeNeus – Gender Neutral Tools and Test for Selection Processes – aims at the development, promotion and mainstreaming of a Set of Gender Neutral Selection Tools and Test.

Using gender Neutral Selection Tools and Test when accessing jobs and education can increase gender neutrality and – at the same time – would reduce the dropout rate and improve the succeeding rate for women in recruitment and selection processes, thus contributing to equal educational and professional opportunities for men and women.

Objectives
Along the project:
  • To get an overview of the reality, demands and gaps of the selection processes in different environments
  • To assess and analyse these processes, in a gender-neutral perspective
  • To produce and deliver useful and free tools and test and the instructions for their usage, guaranteeing a gender-neutral approach.
At long-term:
  • To contribute to equal opportunities of both genders in educational and professional access to jobs and education
