The HEQUITY Project is structured into four main Work Packages (WPs), each designed to address a specific aspect of the project’s mission to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in higher education. These work packages guide the implementation, coordination, and dissemination of all project activities, ensuring measurable impact and collaborative engagement across partner institutions.
Each WP is led by a designated partner with expertise in that domain, while all partners contribute collaboratively to their successful delivery.
