specifically, promotion opportunities for all university staff. The university itself, in this
case the K.U.Leuven, was used as a case study in the development of this module.
Four tools were developed and are reported in ‘Instrument and case study’. This part will
explain the way the module was developed and will identify success factors and pitfalls.
The introduction already clarified that this module consists of different smaller projects, as
the module was elaborated in collaboration with different entities within the K.U.Leuven.
This Process report will focus on these collaborations and the good practices derived from
them, through the application of the following model:
3.1. Instrumental model for introducing gender mainstreaming policy
The ‘Manual on Gender Mainstreaming at Universities’ 167 provides a general instrument
for introducing gender mainstreaming in knowledge-organizations and in this module its
Instrumental model was used as a starting point to integrate the gender equality perspective
in the career management of the organization.
Figure 11: Gender Mainstreaming Process in Universities’ Core Activities
The model offers a framework for introducing the gender mainstreaming policy through
four toolkits or sets of instruments: (1) Measurement and Monitoring, (2) Implementation
and Organization, (3) Building Awareness and Ownership and (4) Gender Proofing and
Evaluation. The authors aimed at developing different tool sets that are easy to use by
anyone in the organization and to different extents. We refer the interested reader to the
Manual itself.
