The HEQUITY project is built around a set of carefully designed activities that aim to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within higher education institutions. These activities are implemented collaboratively by partner organizations across Turkey, Belgium, Italy, and Latvia, and are structured within four main work packages (WPs).
