In 2024, CPED continued to support and make visible the development of policies related to equalitý, inclusion and the fight against all forms of discrimination, as well as offering establishments new resources:
- Supported by her VSS training networkAs part of its work on the national action plan against gender-based and sexual violence in higher education (2021-2025), it has provided over 130 training sessions for students and staff from public and private establishments, including sessions offered to establishments by the MESR (at national and regional level), which has placed its trust in it;
- It has organized a working group and webinars to answer the questions that arise in establishments on subjects as diverse as professional equality, the monitoring and evaluation of equality action plans, menstrual leave, discrimination, LGBTI+ issues and the question of relations between thesis supervisors and doctoral students.
- It continued to intensify its relations and exchanges within the framework of the Réseau international francophone de l'enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche pour l'égalité, la diversité et l'inclusion (REFEDI). This has resulted in a number of international trips: last April, CPED members spent a week in Quebec City (Canada), and in November, a Quebec-France sharing week was organized in Lyon and Grenoble.
- In September 2024, it launched the first edition of its thesis prize, created to support research into gender, equality and diversity.
- The CPED and VSS-Training have also been redesigned.
We would like to thank all our partners who support and participate in our actions; CPED's Board of Directors, past and present, and its employees for all their hard work; as well as all the equality and diversity officers who work on a daily basis in their higher education establishments.
