As part of the EU Horizon 2020 project Modifying Institutions by Developing Gender Equality Plans (MINDtheGEPs) implemented at the University of Gdańsk, a number of activities are being undertaken to implement gender equality policies at our university, as defined in the Gender Equality Implementation Plan at the University of Gdańsk.

One of the project's activities is the awarding of annual prizes for the highest-rated master's theses and doctoral dissertations that integrate gender into research. Master's theses and doctoral dissertations in two areas can be submitted to the competition: social sciences and humanities and sciences and natural sciences. The competition committee will be able to award two prizes for masters theses (one from each area) and two for doctoral theses (one from each area). This year's edition of the competition is open to applicants who were awarded a master's or doctoral degree at the University of Gdańsk in 2023 or 2024.

The prizes funded by the Rector of the University of Gdańsk awarded in each category in 2024 are PLN 2,400 for master's theses and PLN 3,600 for doctoral theses, respectively. Detailed rules of the competition are given in the Regulations of the ‘I include gender in research’ Award. Works in the competition may be submitted by female authors, but also, with their consent, by their supervisors and the deans of the faculties at which the works were defended. The graduation ceremony and presentation of the awarded works will take place on a fixed date in 2025.
