Abstract
In this article, the authors of the paper share information on the perception of gender bias on the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER) of University of Zagreb (UNIZG), Croatia, and the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology (MTF) of the Slovak University of Technology (STU) in Bratislava, Slovakia. As part of the internal assessment for the CALIPER project: Linking Research and Innovation for Gender Equality, UNIZG-FER and MTF STU conducted a survey in May and June 2020. The survey was anonymous and included both closed and open-ended questions, addressing existing gender biases and inequalities of organizations. The covered topics included recruitment and promotion processes, work life balance, promoting mobility, wellbeing, gender-sensitive communication, and gender equality structures and procedures. Both institutions are in the process of establishing their first gender equality plan.
