The GEAM is a survey to help practitioners, activists, researchers or other staff to collect solid gender equality data in organisations. Targeting employees (academic & administrative) or students, it offers insights regarding people’s perceptions and experiences across several dimensions of gender and intersectional inequalities. The questionnaires have been translated into different languages and can be customised, i.e. reduced in length or amplified with additional questions.
Since it initial development in 2020, the GEAM has been used by more than +50 universities and research centres across Europe, generating +10k responses. It offers a framework to collect high quality comparable data on working conditions that facilitate dialog and learning within and across organisations.
