GENDER EQUALITY PLAN 2022 - 2027
1. Introduction
The Hybrid Warfare Research Institute (hereinafter HWRI, red to as: HWRI) adopts the Gender Equality Plan (GEP) for the period 2022 - 2027. The proposed measures are based on the results of an enquiry into gender equality at HWRI and in the local and national environment in which the HWRI operates. The research was conducted in 2022 to identify institutional factors and practises that might influence bias in various aspects of the HWRI's activities.
The general strategic guidelines of the Gender Equality Plan, which formed the basis for the design of the measures, are:
- the plan is consistent with the national, HWRI and legal acts;
- the plan responds to the challenges identified in the research conducted and takes into account the internal capacities of HWRI;
- the plan is open towards staff and external stakeholders;
- the plan allows for changes in line with new insights.
Gender equality in research and innovation is one of the priorities of the European Research Area (ERA). The European Commission has set three objectives for European countries and institutions:
- gender equality in scientific careers,
- gender balance in decision-making, and
- integration of the gender dimension into the content of research and innovation.
The HWRI Gender Equality Plan sets out measures that contribute, to the extent possible, to the achievement of the stated general objectives. The plan covers human resources, institutional management, teaching and education, research, institutional communication, discrimination and sexual harassment. Researchers, administrative staff, and members of the management of HWRI were involved in conducting the research and developing the plan. In this document, the term 'researcher' includes all staff who are involved in the research work. The Gender Equality Plan is the result of the collective work of HWRI staff and is therefore fully consistent with the established practises.
2. Human Resources
HWRI implements employment protocols to avoid bias in recruitment. The adopted internal institutional procedures and activities are based on the Rules of Procedure of the HWRI, and the Labour Law. According to these acts, direct or indirect discrimination regarding work and working conditions, including selection criteria and conditions of employment and promotion, is prohibited.
As part of the research on the state of gender equality, a survey was conducted among the HWRI staff. From the responses collected, it can be concluded that the majority of respondents did not feel discriminated against when they were engaged, hired or promoted to their latest position at HWRI. There are no measures to promote the career advancement of persons of the underrepresented gender at the institutional level. There are no soft quotas, targets, or posts exclusively for women.
Regarding the balance between professional and private life, all measures are listed in the Labour Law. All prescribed measures are available to employees. Information on employee rights and services is available on the intranet and upon request from administrative services.
In the area of human resources, the following measures will be implemented at HWRI:
- strengthening the availability of existing policies and services for staff,
- attracting and retaining female researchers.
2.1 Strengthening the availability of existing policies and services for staff
The implementation of this measure will aim to maintain equal access to information for all employees and strengthen communication and information channels towards staff. HWRI continues to support employees in balancing their professional and personal lives and ensures equality for all employees in selection, employment, work, and professional development.
Timeframe for the implementation of the measure
- October 2024 – December 2025
Objectives
- short-term: more clarity on employees' rights and benefits provided
- medium-term: ensuring equal access to information
- long-term: ensuring continued equality for all employees in the selection, employment, work, and professional development, and supporting employees in balancing their professional and personal lives.
Planned Activities
- a communication campaign on existing employee rights
- revision of available information on the intranet
Institutional Resources
- responsible body: President
- implementing body: Working group for the development and implementation of the GEP
Indicators
- short-term: communication campaign implemented
- medium-term: availability of all relevant information to employees via intranet or appropriate services - long-term: report on the impact of implemented activities
Mitigating and aggravating factors
No aggravating factors for the implementation of this measure have been identified. HWRI implements all positive national regulations governing employee rights. The institution has the internal capacity and support to implement this measure.
2.2 Attracting and retaining female researchers
According to the survey results, the vast majority of members, stakeholders and employees at HWRI have not experienced discrimination in hiring or promotion. Despite the favourable research results, the institution faces the challenge of filling vacancies for postdoctoral researchers, as many young researchers leave academia and scientific research after completing their doctoral studies.
This measure provides for the systematic collection of data and its analysis to better understand why people choose to leave higher education and science. The new insights will be the basis for the introduction of new measures to ensure, to the extent possible, the attraction and retention of talented female researchers.
Timeframe for the implementation of the measure
- October 2022 – September 2023
Objectives
- short-term: the creation of exit surveys for employees leaving the HWRI
- medium-term: better understanding of why individuals choose to leave academia and science - long-term: adapted working conditions in accordance with the information gathered and opportunities to attract and retain female researchers
Planned Activities
- designing an exit survey for employees
- data collection
- research of relevant legal acts to understand the legal framework within which decisions are made - analysis of data collected through the exit survey and preparation of reports

- long-term: at least one new measure to attract and retain talented female researchers
Mitigating and aggravating factors
No aggravating factors for the implementation of this measure have been identified. The institution has the internal capacity and support to implement this measure.
3. Institutional management
The institutional management of HWRI is based on the following legal act: Republic of Croatia, Article 14 of the Act on Gender Equality states that public institutions are required to work towards gender balance but have the freedom to define and monitor their gender equality policies.
The Rules of Procedure of the HWRI define decision-making bodies: the President and Board of the HWRI. Women actively participate in committees and can thus influence decision-making. The challenges identified in the internal assessment of the state of gender equality at HWRI in relation to institutional management are a direct result of historical prejudices present in society that technical universities are more suited to men than to women. As a result, it is to be expected that most management positions are held by men and that there is a gender imbalance in decision-making bodies. Although HWRI has been actively promoting the long-term inclusion of women at all levels, there are very few women in leadership positions of organisational units.
As a measures, it is foreseen:
- establishment of a gender equality body,
- reporting on the status of gender equality,
- pilot programme to strengthen the role of female researchers.
3.1 Establishment of a gender equality body

In line with modern trends, there is a strong need to introduce a programme to support young female researchers.
The implementation of this measure will provide specific professional development for young female researchers and raise awareness of the need to remove barriers to the inclusion of women in the fields of research and innovation. The long-term goal of this measure is to remove barriers to women's appointment to positions and to reduce the impact of the leaky pipeline phenomenon, which describes how women become an underrepresented minority in field of HWRI activities.
Timeframe for the implementation of the measure
- October 2022 – September 2023
Objectives
- short-term: specific professional development for young female researchers
- medium-term: attracting and retaining talented female researchers

4. Institutional communication
The accelerated development of modern technology, the increasing digitalisation of society, and the creation of jobs for the future have led to a change in the perception of HWRI as an institute that has exclusively for so-called "men's jobs".
Efforts to use gender-neutral language whenever possible are visible on the internet, social media, and other internal documents. The Public Relations Department pays special attention to promoting successful women on social media and in the national media.
Finally, the complaints system in cases of sexist communication at the HWRI is accessible and effective. In the area of institutional communication, the following measures will be implemented at HWRI:
- establishment of a dedicated digital communication channel,
- gender-sensitive language in legal documents.
4.1 Establishment of a dedicated digital communication channel
The measure provides for the establishment of a digital communication and information channel for the dissemination of relevant information on gender equality and the promotion of female researchers. The implementation of this measure will contribute to transparency and make the institution's commitment to gender equality visible. Communication campaigns are also planned, e.g., on International Day of Women and Girls in ICT Day, etc., which will help to break down stereotypes regarding technical professions. In the long term, this measure aims to encourage and attract new female students, empower female members, and retain women in the HWRI.
Timeframe for the implementation of the measure
- October 2022 – December 2027
Objectives

4.2 Gender-sensitive language in legal documents
Due to the specifics of the Croatian language, there is a legal ambiguity regarding the use of scientific and teaching titles in legal documents, as existing legal regulations suggest that only the masculine gender should be used in legal documents. The measure provides for the revision of language practises in legal documents and the implementation of the conclusions of the analysis. The aim is to better understand institutional legal documentation and the experiences of the people to whom these documents are addressed. The implementation of this measure will ensure equal professional conditions for all researchers and increase women's motivation to invest in their professional development.

5. Research
The concepts of integrating the gender dimension in the development of curriculum and gender-sensitive research is not yet sufficiently recognised in the Croatian research system. This approach to teaching includes consideration of gender difHWRIences in the development of curriculum and teaching behaviour. In addition, it also ensures equal opportunities for teachers and promotes appropriate interest in the subject matter by students of both genders. Currently, there is no guidance, no available literature, no checklists, and no teacher training on the integration of the gender dimension in the curriculum.
We say that research integrates the gender dimension when it takes into account the differences between women and men in all aspects of the research, from the initial idea, the formulation of the research questions, the objectives and the methodology, to the results and the presentation of the findings. In addition to integrating the gender dimension into the content, a gender-sensitive approach aims to ensure the equal participation of women and men in scientific work. There are no institutional guidelines for integrating the gender dimension into research. HWRI provides practical support to researchers without interHWRIing in the content of research and has no direct influence on how research is conducted; this depends on the international research community. Research involving human subjects is conducted according to the highest ethical principles, which include proportional representation of both genders.
There are informal support mechanisms for female researchers when returning to work after maternity leave. The findings of the study suggest that maternity leave may be the cause of stagnation in the careers of female researchers, as they are less likely to publish papers after returning from leave.
5.1 Promotion campaign for the integration of the gender dimension in research
The measure provides for the design and implementation of a communication and promotion campaign for scientific results and research groups that successfully integrate the gender dimension into research. In the long term, this measure will contribute to strengthening institutional quality, competitiveness, and innovation, as well as interdisciplinarity in scientific research. The campaign will help increase the visibility of researchers and their results in the media and promote the transfer of knowledge from higher education and science to society and the economy.
