To address these issues, the KUGEP outlines several objectives and actions, including maintaining gender balance in leadership positions and decision-making committees, mainstreaming gender in leadership culture and decision-making, and developing the leadership capacities of women through support mechanisms such as mentoring, training programs, and peer networking opportunities. Achieving gender balance in search committees and the leadership of research centers and advisory and executive boards are also identified as specific actions. Gender equality trainings for leadership and management levels, as well as performance evaluation criteria to promote gender equality, are also proposed. These actions aim to promote gender equality and empower women in leadership positions at Koç University.
