The prevention of discrimination on this basis is an integral part of democratic values and plays a key role in achieving social justice and economic growth. Gender equality is both a benchmark and an indicator of the level of political maturity and democratic governance, of the effective functioning of society, and of an innovative and competitive economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the search for ways to address multiple global and national challenges and crises \u2013 economic, military, technological, climate, social, political, migratory, and cultural, as well as extraordinary situations like the COVID-19 pandemic \u2013 the European Union has positioned gender equality as a core value, a fundamental right, and a key principle of the European Pillar of Social Rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>National Conference on &#8220;Gender Equality in Academic and Research Organizations \u2013 Best Practices, Challenges, and Perspectives&#8221;<\/strong> was held on December 15, 2022, at the International Business School (IBS). The conference was jointly organized with the Paisii Hilendarski University of Plovdiv as part of the international project <strong>SPEAR<\/strong> (&#8220;Supporting and Implementing Plans for Gender Equality in Academia and Research&#8221;), funded under the European Union&#8217;s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, Coordination and Support Action in the priority area &#8220;Science with and for Society&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event brought together scholars from various universities and research organizations in Bulgaria, as well as representatives from the business sector and non-governmental organizations dedicated to issues related to equality and anti-discrimination. Participants delivering presentations at the conference came from institutions such as the Technical University of Sofia, Angel Kanchev University of Ruse, the University of Telecommunications and Post, the Institute of Economic Studies and the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conference was opened by <strong>Chief Assistant Professor Dr. Irina Topuzova<\/strong>, Head of the Women\u2019s Leadership Center at IBS and member of the SPEAR project team. Welcome addresses were delivered by <strong>Professor Dr. Georgi Apostolov<\/strong>, Rector of IBS and head of the school\u2019s project team for SPEAR, and <strong>Professor Dr. Rositsa Doneva<\/strong>, Director of the Center for Distance Learning at the University of Plovdiv and head of the university\u2019s SPEAR project team. In their speeches, they outlined the benefits and outcomes of joint efforts and unified solutions, the need for more initiatives supporting women pursuing academic careers, and the necessity to address resistance and the misinterpretation of terms such as &#8220;gender&#8221;, &#8220;sex&#8221;, &#8220;socially constructed roles&#8221;, and others in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"524\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1-gender-equality-conference.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1-gender-equality-conference.jpg 524w, https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1-gender-equality-conference-279x300.jpg 279w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-gender-equality-conference.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-gender-equality-conference.jpg 506w, https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-gender-equality-conference-282x300.jpg 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As hosts supporting the goals and implementation of the SPEAR project, representatives of the Rector&#8217;s leadership at the International Business School (IBS) \u2013 <strong>Assoc.

In two papers\u2014by <strong>Prof. Dr Elena Somova<\/strong> of Paisii Hilendarski University of Plovdiv and <strong>Chief Assist. Prof. Dr Atanaska Cholakova<\/strong> of the International Business School\u2014the <strong>SPEAR<\/strong> project and the gender-equality plans of the two universities were outlined. The speakers addressed the fact that research organisations and higher-education institutions often assign roles that are closely linked to gender. They also presented studies on mechanisms used in the United States to encourage women in the STEM sector, the challenges faced by female entrepreneurs in the digital world, and related topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the discussion panel, participants examined the state of gender equality in Bulgaria\u2014particularly within research organisations and universities\u2014and the challenges involved in drafting, adopting, implementing, and monitoring <strong>Gender Equality Plans<\/strong> in academia. The debate covered both good practices and poor examples of gender-equality plans that had been inappropriately copied, thereby undermining the very purpose of achieving institutional change. Such change is a strategy aimed at removing gender-based barriers embedded in the research system itself and at adapting institutional practices accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-gender-equality-conference.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-gender-equality-conference.png 350w, https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-gender-equality-conference-300x278.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"345\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-gender-equality-conference.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-gender-equality-conference.png 345w, https:\/\/ibsedu.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-gender-equality-conference-300x277.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Conference &#8220;Gender Equality in Academic and Research Organizations \u2013 Best Practices, Challenges, and Perspectives&#8221; Barriers, stereotypes, and prejudices related to social roles and gender equality in professional and public life continue to create a pressing need to be addressed and overcome.
