On 14 May 2019 the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (ZRC SAZU) organised the preliminary meeting of those individuals that were invited to become members of the community of practice (CoP) for gender equality in Slovene academia. The vision of the ZRC SAZU is to build a community of representatives from different academic institutions in Slovenia who are interested in implementing gender equality measures at their institutions. Since no institution in Slovenia has a gender equality office and consequently gender equality officer, the CoP main focus will be on making an alternative institutional infrastructure for sharing knowledge, experiences and strategies for implementing gender equality measures at both institutional and national level. Therefore, we invited colleagues who have been working on projects that involved implementing some gender equality measures, such as: Genis Lab, GENDERA, PLOTINA, CHANGE, GEARING ROLES. Many of them were interested in joining our group, and by word of mouth, some new members came on board.
