Cooperative ventures

Cooperative ventures

The GenderCompetenceCenter was an application-oriented research institution within the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin for the support and activation of Gender Mainstreaming processes, especially in Federal Government administrative organisations. It was funded by the Federal Ministry for Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth [German]. Within the framework of the Center for Transdisciplinary Gender Studies (ZtG), we set up and developed cooperative ventures with national and international actors in women’s studies, men’s studies and gender studies. The GenderCompetenceCenter served as an interface between current research and practice and is thus involved in networking knowledge. We aimed to set up cooperative ventures with other actors involved in Gender Mainstreaming, which were vital for the continued success of the work of the Center. The GenderCompetenceCenter worked closely together with the Center for Gender Research in Medicine (GiM) at the Charité  teaching hospital in Berlin.
