Women Inspiring Europe Calendar 2012 – Call for Nominations

The European Institute for Gender Equality aims to promote gender equality,
to fight discrimination based on sex and to raise awareness of EU citizens of
gender issues. With the “Women Inspiring Europe” Calendar, EIGE aims
to give visibility and pay homage to some of Europe’s most remarkable women,
through highlighting their achievements and success stories.

You can nominate a Woman Inspiring Europe by 10^th
of June.

Nomination form 

The nomination should be written in English. It should include a short
biography, contact details and, if possible, a high resolution photo. The short
biography is expected to answer the following questions:

1. How has she managed to break gender stereotypes (i.e.
   challenging traditional gender roles, producing innovative ideas)?

2. How has she achieved visibility and recognition by way
   of her actions (locally, nationally or internationally)?

3. How has she contributed to more equality between women
   and men?

The application can be submitted by a person or an organisation. If the
application is submitted by the nominee herself, a supporting reference from an
organisation should be added.

All received nominations will become part of the Institute’s “Women
Inspiring Europe” resource-pool, which contains information about
women from all over Europe, who can act as role-models and as a source of
inspiration for others.

The resource pool is used by EIGE and its stakeholders and partners in
search of realistic evidence of success in the form of testimonials, expert or
speaker interventions. Over time as the activity gains momentum, the
“Women of Europe” resource pool will become an integral part of the
Institute’s Resource and Documentation Centre pooling the experience and
bringing recognition to the achievements of European women. Before publishing
any information, the Institute will contact the nominee to agree on any
information to be made public.

Let’s work together to find Women Inspiring Europe!
