With the support of the Rector doc. RNDr. Vojtěch Petráček, CSc. and the university management, CTU has been running a gender audit Since June 2022, implemented within the framework of the projects Social Security at Czech Universities in the Context of Academic Ethics and Capacity Development for Strategic Management in Research at the CTU in Prague (HR Award).

The gender audit is a key activity of the CTU Gender Equality Plan for the period 2021-2024. The requirement for the existence of the plan is stipulated in the General Annexes of Horizon Europe, the EU's 9th Framework Programme for Science, Research and Innovation. Similar measures are taken by the GACR, TAČR and the Ministry of Youth, Education and Science.

The quantitative part of the audit, an equal opportunities survey, will take the form of an anonymous online questionnaire in Czech and English versions, which has been sent to all core staff and staff members and students of doctoral programmes. The aim of the survey is to learn about the views, experiences and needs of employees and students, particularly in the areas of ensuring equal opportunities at all stages of their careers, reconciliation of private and working life, working conditions and working environment.

At the same time, the qualitative part of the audit is being conducted: individual and group interviews with key staff and students of doctoral programmes and analysis of internal documents, HR directives and statistical data.

The results of the gender audit will be presented at the end of 2022.
