EVOLVE2CARE x GILL: Expanding our gender-informed policy

Following our insightful mini-webinar in March 2025, EVOLVE2CARE is excited to highlight the next phase of the collaboration with the GILL – Gendered Innovation Living Labs, a Horizon Europe project. This time, we extended our efforts to the entire GILL consortium during their 5th consortium meeting, held on May 22, 2025.

This in-person meeting, focused on the final stages of the GILL project and its overall impact, allowed EVOLVE2CARE, represented by Konstantina Tsimpita from AUTH Medical Physics & Digital Innovation Lab, to join forces with GILL’s gender innovation experts in advancing a comprehensive Key Performance Indicators (KPI) framework to support gender-responsive innovation in healthcare, entrepreneurship, and innovation ecosystems.

A central topic of discussion was the expansion of the societal key indicators framework, focusing on key axes such as:

  • Gender-balanced participation
  • Inclusive co-creation and decision-making
  • Gender-aware design of solutions
  • Gender-sensitive impact evaluation

These KPIs aim to embed gender perspectives throughout the innovation lifecycle and healthcare development, helping to ensure that outcomes are not only effective but also equitable and socially responsive.
