D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
Summary The Hypatia project was launched on August 1st. Hypatia addresses the challenge of bringing more teenagers into STEM related careers. The project aims to communicate sciences to young people in a more gender inclusive way. In order to achieve this we are involving schools, industry, science centres and museums, policy makers and teenagers directly. To do so, the project will produce a toolkit, work around national hubs and organise a series of events. The project is also producing a campaign targeting teenagers all around Europe. Called “Expect Everything”, it builds on the results achieved by the campaign Science it’s a Girl Thing.
The Hypatia National hubs are led by science centres and museums, they are located in 14 countries: Austria, Denmark, Estonia, France, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Poland, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK. Their main aim is to organize a series of events for teachers, head teachers and teenagers and will translate, adapt and implement Hypatia’s modules. Their goal is to link representatives of industries, teachers, policy makers and teenagers and strengthen the interaction among the stakeholders and disseminate the Hypatia digital toolkit on a national level.
Hypatia will also produce an accessible, practical and ready-to-use digital collection of modules aimed at teenagers that will be used by teachers, informal learning organisations, researchers and industry. The modules produced by Hypatia will have a central focus on gender-inclusive ways of communicating STEM, empowering teenagers and exploring the range of skills that are needed for a great variety of STEM studies and careers open to young people. The Hypatia hubs will provide a sustainable basis for these activities to be carried out on the long term, with a focus on dissemination through networks and stakeholder engagement allowing the project impact to multiply.
Finally events will take place in science centres and museums in 14 countries and will be specifically focus on engaging teenagers in a variety of future careers related to science. Other events dedicated to teachers and head teachers will be organized. Besides putting forward new events and activities based on the project tools, hubs will adapted existing events, making use of the toolkit and improving the extent to which these events address issues on gender.
This current document reports the main activities undertaken by the project in its first year from August 2015 to July 2016.
For the period August 2015- April 2016 partners were asked and have delivered their input for the preparation of an Internal report that gave information both on their content contribution and their financial spending on the project. The internal report produced was used as means for internal monitoring of the project. This process gave valuable feedback to the coordinator and assistance to the partners to ensure WPs are developing well and in good cooperation, budget is spent in a correct way and so on. The main objective of that report as well of this current one that includes content updates of the additional three months ( May 2016-July 2016) is to identify mistakes and difficulties partners are facing in the project so far in order to avoid future problems for the elaboration of the 1st periodic report , which will be submitted to the European Commission until Month 17 (December 2016) that will cover the period ( M1-M15) ( August 2015 – October 2016) .

This document has been divided in three parts:
Work Progress ( Outline of the tasks undertaken by the partners during this period) List of deliverables produced and milestones achieved so far Use of Resources spent in the first 9 months of the project ( personnel time and direct costs)
Work Progress- General overview From the beginning of the first year of Hypatia NEMO as coordinator and WP1 leader was responsible to set up the coordination and management mechanisms of the project. One of the first tasks completed was the production of a Quality and Assurance plan ( D1.1) , this document detailed the mechanisms for managing the interaction between the beneficiaries during the work execution; gave details on how and when the project documentation has to be exchanged within the beneficiaries and in relation to the European Commission; proposed mechanisms for ensuring the consistent progress of the work, on a regular basis and set up the editorial standards for project document contents. The first consortium meeting was held in Amsterdam in the beginning of month 4 of the project from November 2-4 in the premises of NEMO Science Museum and the 2nd Consortium meeting was held in Brussels on the 28-30 June 2016 on month 11th of the project. In the meantime Online Management team meetings were held every two months since the kick off meeting. The coordinator was in charge of selecting the external evaluator of the project, setting up a call on Month 1, signing up a contract with the selected partner, de Montfort University in the UK on the 20th of October 2015. WP1 has also produced an internal report for Hypatia M1-M9 and this current report overlooking the first year of the project.
As soon as the project begun and in order to prepare the ground for the production of the Hypatia Toolkit, UCPH as leader of WP2 began setting up the project theoretical framework. The first action they took in as WP leaders was to work on the criteria of what makes an activity gender- inclusive. UCPH set up a Gender Panel, a board of gender experts that would provide feedback in several elements of the project including this list of criteria. During the kick off meeting in Amsterdam that was attended by both main partners and third parties the WP2 leader gave a workshop on gender inclusion to all partners using the criteria developed in D2.1. UCPH collected a list of activities from all partners in order to create a pull of activities to select the basis of the modules for WP4 and made an analysis of them. During this first year it also produced a report of the relations between gender and STEM education in the 14 European countries participating in the project getting input from both partners and other resources (D2.3). Additional the original foreseen tasks and in order to ensure a good cooperation between WP2 and WP3 an extra meeting was held in December 2015 between UCPH, MUST and NEMO. The purpose of this meeting was to link the D2.2 outcomes with the first task of WP4, the development of the first modules. As soon as the project begun, WP3 leader begun by finalising the members of the Advisory Board committee (D3.1). During the kick off meeting in Amsterdam, the Advisory Board came together, met the project partners and held a meeting in order to set up clear roles and responsibilities during the project. Bloomfield Science Museum also produced a guide plan for partners on how to set up their National Hubs. The plan included information about how they should establish their Hub (how to map relevant stakeholders, recruit them etc), guidelines on how to
4
D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
administrate the Hub ( information about how to communicate with their members , how they could set up the youth panels in each country etc) and information about the Launch events the main partners would be holding and the general support they would provide as leaders of this task. Beginning in May 2016 and lasting until June 2016 all main partners held their National Hub launches attracting a number of stakeholders in each country and attention.
Already from the 3rd month of the project the leader of WP4 that deals with the development of the toolkit, made their first plan about the mechanism the selection of the activities for the modules will be implementing. On month 5, December 2015, a meeting was held as mentioned above with WP2 leader and the coordinator in order to set up the model of selection of the activities that will create the basis of the modules from the initial big pull of activities collected by WP2. MUST as WP leader with the collaboration of all main partners selected then the basis for the first 15 modules D4.1 ( 5 for schools, 5 for industries, 5 for museums) and allocated to each partner 6 modules they would be piloting, the piloting of the modules has now begun and will be taking place until month 14 of the project.
Even though the tasks of WP5 are only beginning officially on month 19, WP leader has already presented a first set of ideas to the partners and shared idea and received feedback from partners during the second Consortium meeting in Brussels about the format of the Hypatia Seminars and the selection of the modules for all partners during the large implementation phase of the project. It has also been agreed that an extra meeting will be held in October 2016 between WP4 leader, WP5 leader and the coordinator in order to agree on the mechanism of allocation of the modules to each project main partner and third party.
WP6 plays a major part in Hypatia. This WP leads the dissemination of the project to the relevant stakeholders (institutional campaign) and the development of the Campaign that follows up the legacy of ‘Science it’s a girl thing’ Campaign of the European Commission. As soon as the project was launched Ecsite lead the elaboration of the dissemination strategy. A designer company, Hyperbrow, was hired to create the branding image of both campaigns and the website and all partners were involved in a collaborative process in coming up with key messages and input for dissemination. Teenagers themselves in Netherlands and Ireland were involved in the process giving their input on the proposed campaign. The campaign for teenagers ( ExpectEverything) and project website were launched eventually in April 2016, on month 9 of the project. Ecsite took over the management of the Facebook group of the Science it’s a girl thing campaign and produced several dissemination tools such as press releases, factsheets , newsletter, and so on. On month 11 of the project ( 30th june 2016) it was held in Brussels, the European stakeholders Event of Hypatia with great success, attracting 64 key stakeholders from the industry sector ,policy makers and museum representatives. An interesting element of the dissemination of the project is the fact that it has been decided that all museum partners will be leading the setting up of Youth Panel editorial boards. These panels consisting of teenagers will be responsible each month for the production of content for the project dissemination channels ( videos, blogs, articles, interviews etc). This process begun already in May 2016 and Netherlands produced the first content.

Progress towards objectives– tasks completed/issues raised
T1.1 Project Coordination
Leader: NEMO
Quality control
NEMO produced a quality and assurance plan (D1.1) that was shared with the project partners during the kick off project meeting. The plan is one of the project deliverables submitted to the European Commission and has in extensive details information related to the management of the project, the reporting and financial issues. The plan has been since then shared on basecamp the internal communication channel of the project.
Maintain and monitor the work plan

D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
Distributing partner shares according to consortium agreement agreed rules, providing financial helpdesk services, establishing and maintaining financial records, etc.
NEMO first and then all project partners signed the Grant Agreement with the European Commission following a number of adjustments and corrections from the initial proposal in August 2015.
A Consortium Agreement that was prepared by NEMO was also signed by all partners and third parties on the same time.
Ecsite prepared and circulated a Third Parties Agreement for all the third parties. All third parties signed these contracts.
NEMO transferred the pre financing amount that received from the European Commission to all the partners. NEMO begun the procedure in August 2015 as soon as the amount was received and following some questions, clarifications and doubts all amount were transferred to the partners within a month time.
Organise project launch: establish procedures, project management methods and tools (project management plan, quality plan, risk register, indicators); prepare project kick-off meeting,
A Kick off meeting took place in Amsterdam from the 2-4 November 2015. At this meeting representatives of all main partners and third parties took place. During the three days, the project plan was explained in detail, WP leaders had the chance to share their plans, concerns, ideas for the coming months. UCPH as WP2 leader had also the time to organise a workshop as will be described in more detail under WP2. A physical advisory board meeting also took place at the end of this meeting.
Organise periodic project consortium meetings for project progress review, decision making and conflict resolution (Management team meetings)
A Management team meeting has been taking place every two months since the kick off meeting of the project. One representative at least from each Work package leader takes part in this meeting where issues are raised and progress is monitored.
More specifically following the kick off meeting in November 2015 the following Management team meetings have taken place:
- 28/01/2016
- 31/03/2016
- 02/06/2016
- 29/06/2016
Further than the management team meetings, skype calls have been organised with WP leaders and NEMO in regular basis to monitor progress of the specific work packages more in detail. During the last Management team meeting on 29th of June, it was decided that Universcience would join the team meetings even though they are not WP leaders in the project. This way as the
7
D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
only remaining main partner science museum in the project will be able to be better connected with the project developments and decisions.
Co-ordinate timely production of deliverables
All deliverables of the period M1-M12 have been submitted to the European Commission. A procedure was set in order to ensure the quality of the deliverables in which always NEMO and one more main partner would review the document before it was officially submitted. Some deliverables were submitted with a delay of a month from the original day as the time allocated for their preparation was very tight. .
kplan, according to milestones, indicators and contractual commitments,
contractual documents (Project programme, Consortium Agreement)
NEMO has circulated all relevant documents to the project partners, has uploaded them on the internal communication website ( basecamp) and maintains all copies of financial documents within the financial department of the museum.
internal and contractual periodic reporting
Information about the reporting procedures has been circulated by NEMO already from the kick off meeting. The Quality and assurance plan has given in detail all information related to reporting and partners received templates and instructions for reporting almost 2 months before initial deadline. Collection of information has been running overall smoothly with some small delays by some partners for the internal reporting. Lessons learned will be used for the 15th months interim reporting procedure.
Status : this task has been taking place without deviations from original planning
T1.2 Risk and Quality Management
Leader: NEMO
A risks plan has been part of the Quality and Assurance plan that was shared with all partners on month 3 of the proejct. The plan is regularly reviewed during physical consortium meetings and any actions needed to be undertaken are reviewed and agreed upon. The progress of the project is monitored via a series of documentations ( deliverables, minutes of meetings) and the internal reports in addition to the periodic reports the project is foreseen to deliver.
The Internal report that was produced in the project for the period M1-M9 identified some issues that the Coordinator had to pay special attention to. More specifically:
Submitting of deliverables on time: Ensuring that all partners, complete their tasks on time and do not lose track of their responsibilities has been one of the biggest challenges. During this first
8
D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
period a number of deliverables were submitted with smaller or bigger delay with maximum one month delay deriving from the original plan. The coordinator had already set the Q&A plan, the internal website and online meetings in order to ensure the completion of tasks but as this task emerged extra measures needed to be taken in order to avoid delays in delivery.
Action: It was decided that the coordinator will look ahead in upcoming deliverables and related milestones and foresee together with the partners responsible what specific issues may arise. Together a specific action plan per wp will be made and additional cooperation actions among wps will take place ( see for example extra meeting between WP4-5 Leaders to be organised in October 2016).
Management of third parties. A number of third parties requested for an updated list of the upcoming deadlines for activities and reporting due for Third Parties so that these partners can plan for these well in advance.
Action: Ecsite organised skype calls with every third party in July 2016 to see individual issues and update them on the project progress and expected tasks. Ecsite produced a new document with deadlines and milestones for third parties for the 2nd year of the project.
Role of the partners. As some of the project partners are not involved in European projects in a regular basis ( see Industry partners for example), it was identified a need for each of the partner’s task to be clearly explained by the coordinator and WP leader well in advance. Responsibilities and expectations need to be reminded and monitored very often.
Action: NEMO to produce action list specifically for the industry partners and keep them more closely updated regarding their tasks and responsibilities
Internal website: Navigation on the internal website has been challenging for some partners finding difficult to keep up with messages from the project.
Action: prioritising information in the coming months in the project internal portal will be important for the good management of the project. NEMO agreed following the second consortium meeting to clean up BASECAMP from drafts of documents and collect and archive them in zip files. Each WP leader has agreed to take responsibility to keep their folder clean and up to date.
Translations: as most of the information on both Hypatia and EE websites is currently available only in English there is foreseen an issue with especially teachers from different countries that expect to receive as much information possible in their own languages.
Action: the project has already foreseen that modules will be translated in local language. Additionally to this it was decided that Ecsite will create for the toolkit webpage only, language specific pages. In this case this page’s main text will also be translated in 14 countries and partners will have access to their local page in order to disseminate it to teachers and other stakeholders directly and avoid language issues that may arise.
Status : this task has been taking place without deviations from original planning

Task 1.3 Coordinating of External Evaluator
Leader: NEMO
On the 28th of August 2015 NEMO made a call for the external evaluator of the project. 5 complete entries were received and NEMO in consultation with two more partners ( UCPH and MUST) selected the subcontractor ( De Montfort University in Leicester). The evaluator participated in the kick off meeting of the project laying down the evaluation plan and has submitted a first more detailed strategy of the evaluation of the project in December 2015. In July 2016 the evaluator begun implementing the strategy with interviews with project partners ( one interview took place with MUST, WP4 leader) in July 2016.
Status : this task has been taking place without deviations from original planning
Task 1.4 Coordination of third parties
Leader: Ecsite
At the start of the project Ecsite coordinated all the administrative procedures that led to the signature of the contracts between Ecsite and all the third parties. Following this, and before the kick off meeting, the project manager scheduled 9 calls (one with each third party) to inform them and to give more information about the project, answering possible administrative and technical questions and in general introducing the project. During these months, Ecsite has sent reminders to the third parties for them to identify the precise legal and ethical requirements of the project in each country making sure that they delivered on time. Finally, Ecsite made sure that all of the third parties gave in on time its input for WP2 leaders to make their report on the state of the art of how gender inclusively STEM is communicated in the 14 countries of the project. Following the second consortium meeting in June 2016, Ecsite begun a series of calls with third parties and the preparation of a document for them in order to collect information about tasks completed in the project so far and tasks foreseen in the project for them in the coming months. The involvement of the third parties becomes more significant once WP5 comes into action.
Status : this task has been taking place without deviations from original planning
Task 1.5 Ethical Management
Leader: NEMO
The coordinator made sure that all the museums partners ( including third parties) identified the precise legal and ethical requirements for the project in each country and obtained the necessary approvals before month 8 of the project : a. ethical approvals by the competent local/national Ethics Committees b. ethical approvals by the national data protection laws
The coordinator reviewed the standards and guidelines of Horizon 2020 regarding ethical issues in order to prepare the templates and instructions of the partners. The deliverable corresponding

Objectives and Milestones
To ensure the work of the project is in line with the latest European research on how to ensure STEM in communicated in a gender-inclusive way To define criteria as to what makes a STEM engagement activity for teenagers gender- inclusive To select existing European gender-inclusive good practices and guidelines on engaging teenagers in STEM To report on the state of the art of how gender-inclusively STEM is communicated in the 14 countries of the project To establish institutional communication guidelines for schools, museums, research institutions and industry to ensure they communicate STEM in a gender-inclusive way
Progress towards objectives– tasks completed/issues raised
Task 2.1 Criteria for gender inclusion
Leader: UCPH
Partners: NEMO-NCWT, MNST DA VINCI, BSMJ, AEESTI / Ecsite, Experimentarium, EPPDCSI, BUREAUQ BV, PPG Europe, L'OREAL Foundation
The first task in WP2 was the development of a set of criteria for gender inclusion that were based on Hypatia’s theoretical framework for gender, and operational with respect to its target institutions: Museums and science centres, schools, research institutions, and industry. UCPH developed these criteria in M1-M3, and presented their framework at the Consortium Workshop in Amsterdam in November 2015. The feedback they received through the workshop from the partners and the feedback they received from the project’s Gender Panel helped the WP leader to finalise the criteria as Deliverable D2.1. The criteria are bringing out very interesting concepts related to gender inclusion, science and science education. In spite of its image as being objective and unbiased, the gendering of science according to the report of UCPH has been on- going since its early origins. A number of studies show that gender has influenced the production of scientific knowledge at multiple levels through history. Instead of transcending sexual differences, the ideals of science have thus effectively helped to establish them. Another interesting concept elaborated in the criteria is Tt assumption that girls and boys belong to 11
D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
distinct, internally homogeneous groups based on their biological sex . This according to the D2.1 ‘creates a stereotype of girls and boys that fits no one in particular. The assumption that sex equals gender is increasingly being challenged. These are a few of the basic concepts that were brought out in this document that created the basis of a number of actions within Hypatia. It has also been decided to decipher the findings of this deliverable into guidelines and useful factsheets for Industries and policy makers interested in the topic of gender inclusion.
Status : this task has been taking place without deviations from original planning
Task 2.2: Consortium Workshop on Gender Inclusion
Leader: UCPH
At the Consortium Workshop in Amsterdam in November 3, 2015, UCPH shared their findings on the developed framework, and engaged the partners and third party participants in a workshop to analyse three cases of science education activities, set in a museum, an industrial setting, and a research institution setting, respectively. This workshop gave them valuable feedback for finalising Deliverable 2.1 and introduced the Hypatia partners to the Hypatia theoretical framework.

Task 2.3: Collection of Existing Activities and Guidelines
Leader: UCPH
Participants: NEMO, MUST, BSMJ, EXP, UNIV, PPG, L’OREAL, Third Parties]
Task 2.3 consisted of the collection of science education activities that represent good practices for bringing gender into the way STEM is communicated. Using an online survey, UCPH collected
12
D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
49 science education activities from the Partners or Third Parties from Hypatia’s 14 European countries. The activities were summarised in terms of stakeholder involvement, content, format, and intended audience. The activities were then analysed in terms of the gender inclusion framework. This analysis allowed them to identify good practices for each of the ten identified activity formats. The complete, categorised list of activities was delivered to Work Package 4 leader (MUST) together with a guideline on how the activities constituted good practices and further points for consideration (Deliverable 2.2) at the end of M5. A physical workshop also took place that month so that UCPH could elaborate with MUST on their findings and ensure the communication among the partners was sufficient.
Status : this task has been taking place without deviations from original planning
Task 2.4 State of the Art in Gender
Leader: UCPH
Participants: NEMO, MUST, BSMJ, EXP, UNIV,PPG, L’OREAL, Third Parties
Task 2.4 consisted of a mapping of how gender is addressed in the current STEM curricula in 14 EU countries, in guidelines teachers and head teachers receive on how to approach the topic of gender in classrooms, and in national structures to guide inclusive STEM education in schools, museums and science centres, research institutions, and industry. UCPH collected a total of 41 documents of three types: 22 primary documents that directly prescribe the content of science education (national science curricula), 15 secondary documents that address the ways in which science education is carried out in practice (such as guidelines for teachers), and finally, 4 tertiary documents that report on the status of gender and science education across nations or regions (such as EU reports). What was found was significant gender polarisation in the curriculum documents, and a relative scarcity of guidelines or teachers and other educators on how to conduct gender-inclusive teaching. This indicates that there is work yet to be done to make science education gender inclusive across Europe. However, the findings (presented in Deliverable 2.3) may be subject to change over time, as Hypatia’s knowledge- sharing network becomes better.
Status : this task has been taking place without deviations from original planning
Task 2.5 Institutional communication guideline development
Leader: UCPH
Participants: BUREAUQ, NEMO, MUST, BSMJ, EXPT, UNIV, PPG, L’OREAL, Third Parties
This task will begin in month 24 of the project; nevertheless the project consortium is already beginning to think how what has been developed by the above tasks and will eventually feed in these guidelines will be disseminated in the most effective way possible.

To establish and coordinate local Hubs that will support the project’s activities; To establish and coordinate a European Advisory Board to feed into the project; To ensure stakeholders are engaged at all stages of the project and mobilised in order to implement the project activities.
Progress towards objectives– tasks completed/issues raised
Task 3.1 European Advisory Board
Leader: BMSJ
Participants: NEMO, ECSITE, PPG, L’OREAL
BMSJ has developed a detailed description of the European Advisory Board, with input from the board following a physical meeting in Amsterdam during the kick off of the project. The European Advisory Board consists of a great mix of representatives ranging from Industry, policy makers, the European head teachers association. The roles of the committee members as well as the details regarding the management of this board are submitted as deliverable D3.1.. The input the Board has given has assisted the project in several aspects such as the preparation of the European Stakeholders Event, the establishment of the local hubs, the dissemination material of the project and so on.
The WP leader has been responsible for planning the agenda and coordinating 4 AB meetings so far:
1st- during the KOM- face to face on 4/11/15
2nd skype meeting on 15/12/15
3rd teleconference meeting on 15/2/16
4th teleconference meeting on 2/5/16
5th Physical meeting during the second consortium meeting on 29/6/16
Status: There has been a change in one of the Advisory Board members. Jean Pierre Alix from Euroscience has been replaced by Anne Sophie Godfroy from the Sorbonne University.
Task 3.2 Strategic plan for local/national stakeholder engagement
14
D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
Leader: BMSJ
Participants: NEMO, MUST, EXP, UNIV, PPG, L’OREAL
BMSJ has developed a strategic plan for stakeholders engagement with input from the Advisory Board members and disseminated a template to all partners for monitoring the Hubs activities in all science museums partners (deliverable D3.2. ). The plan includes guidance to the partners on how they can establish their own hub and on how they could run it during the project lifetime. It includes guidelines and information related to the launch hub events for the main partners and more details regarding the supporting mechanism the WP leader will provide to all partners and the reporting procedures they will need to respect.
Status : this task has taken place without deviations from original planning
Task 3.3 Hub management
All main partners have set up the teams that consist of their Hub committees and begun in month 9 launching their Hubs. The Launch events were completed by all partners by month 10 of the project.
For these reason and under the guidelines provided by BMSJ Project meetings dealing with the Hub establishment and the launch event took place in main project partners, partnerships are being built with ( Ministries of Education (MoE) and with the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST), industries, etc).
In addition to the Hubs special youth panels have been setting up in all main partners. Recruitment strategies have been proposed by WP leader in order to recruit participants in the youth panels. The third parties have begun this task of building their youth panel on month 9 of the project. Ecsite has set up together with Bloomfield a monitoring procedure for their work as the youth panels offer input for the dissemination of the project too. NEMO has been the host of the first youth panel that has offered input to the project and social media in June 2016.

Figure 2: The youth editorial board of Science Museum NEMO
The Internal report that was produced in the project for the period M1-M9 identified some issues related to the Hubs management that WP leader had to pay special attention to. More specifically:
Engaging all stakeholders during the Hub creation: One partner reported some difficulties in engaging commercial companies as part of their national hub.
Action: In order to solve this challenge the partner has foreseen for this reason a special recruitment advertisement for partners on their website. This process will be shared with the other partners that might face similar issues.
Teenagers participation in youth boards: The participation of the youth panel was noted by some partners as one of the most important tasks in the project but also a very challenging task to complete. ( time schedules, ages, commitment, etc) . Teenagers involvement needs a lot of dedicated time but their feedback has proven to be very useful.
Action: Partners agreed to share more their strategies on recruiting teenagers and NEMO that was the partner that first created the youth panel agreed to assist the partners taking over.
Hubs management developments: . A lot of information on this is already shared on Basecamp but it is often lost and “drawn” among all the other stuff there
Action: Providing the hubs as well as our organizations internally with updates on the progress of the project internationally could strengthen the interest and engagement of the project. It was agreed to discuss in the coming consortium meeting whether there is a need of a more concise strategy on sharing these news among the partners.

Progress towards objectives– tasks completed/issues raised
Task 4.1 Development of modules
Leader: MUST
Participants: NEMO, BSMJ, EXP,UNIVERSCIENCE
MUST as WP leader coordinated the modules development from all the museum partners and:
- developed and provided 3 modules templates for the 3 different contexts: museum, school and industry/research institute
- supported the partners in choosing the activities to test and producing the descriptions
- collected, review, and commented in collaboration with UCPH and NEMO, all the activities for the 3 contexts proposed by all the Hypatia partners.
- organized the implementation of the pilots.
Every museum promised to pilot their 3 proposed activities and 3 activities imported from another museum in such structure: o MUST proposes and pilots 3 activities, 1 for school, 1 for museum, one for industry/research institutes. Moreover MUST pilots 1 activity for museum imported from NEMO, 1 activity for school and 1 activity for industry/research institutes imported from BMSJ. o BMSJ proposes and pilots 3 activities, 1 for school, 1 for museum, one for industry/research institutes. Moreover BMSJ pilots 1 activity for museum imported from MUST, 1 activity for school and 1 activity for industry/research institutes imported from NEMO. o NEMO proposes and pilots 3 activities, 1 for school, 1 for museum, one for industry/research institutes. Moreover NEMO pilots 1 activity for museum imported from BMSJ, 1 activity for school and 1 activity for industry/research institutes imported from MUST. o UNIVERSCIENCE proposes and pilots 3 activities, 1 for school, 1 for museum, one for industry/research institutes. Moreover UNIVERSCIENCE pilots 1 activity for museum, 1 activity for school and 1 activity for industry/research institutes imported from EXPERIMENTARIUM. o EXPERIMENTARIUM proposes and pilots 3 activities, 1 for school, 1 for museum, one for industry/research institutes. Moreover UNIVERSCIENCE pilots 1 activity for museum, 1 activity for school and 1 activity for industry/research institutes imported from UNIVERSCIENCE..
In order to support the implementation of the activities MUST developed and shared with the partners 2 more guidelines about facilitation and gender inclusion to be added to the description of the activities. The guidelines are aimed especially at companies and researchers with a low experience in informal education, facilitation and gender inclusion who could implement the activities in their own contexts. In general they are a valid support also for museum educators and school teachers in supporting dialogue and gender inclusion. “Facilitation guidelines” are
20
D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
aimed at supporting the discussions and experimental activity conduction. “Gender guidelines” are aimed at facilitating gender inclusiveness in implementing the activities and sharing the results deliverables of the WP 2 in the practice of the WP 4
MUST Prepared a piloting feedback system composed by an observation sheet, an activity feedback form and the feedback instructions. All the materials are stored and shared on basecamp. The WP leader produced the D 4.1, the description of the set of developed modules.
Status : this task has been taking place without deviations from original planning
Task 4.2 Piloting of modules
MUST as leader of this task coordinated the piloting of modules of all the partners and monitored the piloting calendar and the activity feedback system. In order to support efficiently the partners MUST started immediately the pilot of their activities and shared with the others the results.
Besides specific notes and comments, in general the WP leader noticed common outcomes from all the piloting information received so far such as:
Organizing the activities in a variety of modalities fostered an inclusive engagement and participation of the teenagers, The concrete and direct presence of professionals had a strong impact among the participants, Teenagers showed to be aware and reflective about gender issue and stereotypes, although it happened that they reproduced some unbalanced gender visions in comments or behaviour, in an implicit and indirect way.
The process of piloting of modules has been taking place in all countries and mostly completed by month 12. Some partners have still some modules to test and arranged dates have been set for September 2016 for the remaining ones.
Organisation for the pilots of the modules: Some partners faced challenges in finding comfortable dates for testing especially the industry modules as it meant organising both the testing for school classes in collaboration with industries.
Action: Partners shared tips and ideas on how to overcome these obstacles during the second consortium meetings. Partners have until September 2016 to complete their pilots. Additional guidelines especially for industry partners has been decided they will be developed ( this task will be led by UCPH and NEMO) in order to assist in the involvement of industries.
Status: this task is taking place without deviations from original planning
Task 4.3 Production of the toolkit
This task is foreseen to begin on month 15. Nevertheless discussions on the layout of the toolkit on the Hypatia website have already begun on month 9. Discussions that took place during the consortium meeting on month 11 resulted with a plan for Ecsite to send a concrete proposal about the presentation of the toolkit on the Hypatia website, and arranging of an extra meeting between WP4-WP5 on October 2016.

D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
To bring together stakeholders in formal and informal education, research, industry and policy on a national level for seminars organised by the Hubs in each of the 14 countries of the consortium To advocate for the inclusion of gender issues in STEM outreach activities on a European level To support the sustainability of Hypatia tools and outcomes long after the project lifetime.
Progress towards objectives– tasks completed/issues raised
Task 6.1 Dissemination plan and campaign strategy
Lead: Ecsite
Participants: BQ
The plan developed by Ecsite in association with BureauQ describes the activities that will help promote the outcomes of the project throughout the project. It describes target audiences, key messages, branding, dissemination tools and dissemination materials as well as promotion events that will be organised by science centres. It sets the guidelines to make the most efficient use of the tools available to the consortium to disseminate and promote the project. It maps the whole consortium and third parties means of communication and gives clues on how to use them. It also provides the rationale behind the slogan “expect everything” and the branding. Finally it outlines the action plan that will be undertaken during the life span of the project and how the monitoring is going to be achieved. It is important pointing out that the project takes over the legacy of the European Commission’s campaign, Science it’s a girl thing. The Dissemination plan and campaign was a 6 months’ work that was finalised at the end of January 2016. The campaign is supported by the combined work of the partners of the project as well as the third parties
In parallel to the dissemination plan and campaign strategy, Ecsite also produced a sustainability strategy that aims at ensuring that the outcomes of the project remain used and available after the end of the project. This strategy has a twofold aim: to increase the scope of the outcome and to use the partnerships that will be created during the life span of the project. To do so the strategy is based on a strong communication plus the establishment of a network based on community interests.
Status : this task took place without deviations from original planning
Task 6.2 Dissemination activities
Lead: Ecsite
Participants: BQ, NEMO, MUST, BSMJ, EXP, UNIV, COP, PPG, L’OREAL, Third Parties
The implementation of the dissemination plan is the core of this task. Ecsite oversees the coordinated partners’ effort across Europe in order to ensure that the plan is implemented correctly and as widely as possible, extending the project’s impact across all the relevant
23
D1.2 1st Periodic report Hypatia
networks of stakeholders. Ecsite gathers regular information from the partners and disseminates it through the 2 websites of the project as well as by using the social media tools.
Partners post their events on Basecamp or contact Ecsite’s project managers and provide them with details of their events that are updated online.
Since March 1 and until the launch of the “Expect Everything campaign” on April 21 Ecsite had been posting on Science it’s a girl thing” Facebook page various posts. To do so Ecsite prepared a monthly plan of Facebook posts, following the template that the Science it’s a girl thing campaign created.
These are the posts that were produced during this period:
Figure 7: Facebook posts by Ecsite on Science it’s a girl thing page
A total of 13 posts were produced during one month, a rate of 2 posts per week in average. Ecsite used birthdays and celebrations as a hook to engage young people.
In the first 12 months of the project Ecsite prepared 3 press releases coinciding with the kick-off meeting, the launch of the websites, and the European stakeholders event. They were shared with the partners and third parties. Partners adapted them to better attract their local audience, translated them and shared them with their contacts.
The Newsletters were sent on November 13th and April 28th to a growing database. The first one reached 453 people whereas the second one was sent to 644 subscribers.

Task 6.3 Coordination of the project website and branding
As soon as the project was launched Ecsite started to work on the development of a branding image, a web portal and a factsheet. Ecsite prepared the brief for the selection of the designers and developers. Ecsite circulated the call among partners and third parties to find a suitable design studio and gathered the proposals and together with BureauQ and NEMO, analysed them and chose the most suitable option for this work. Once the designers were selected, the chosen one, HyperBrow studio (http://hyperbrow.com) started to develop the right tools.
The website serves a twofold objective: to promote the results of the project and the usability of the Toolkit; and on the other side, to captivate the interest of teenagers, especially girls in STEM. For the first main goal we have developed a website www.hypatiaproject.eu that contains all the relevant information concerning the project, as well as room for the toolkit. To fulfil the second objective, a website catered for teenagers has been developed, www.expecteverything.eu. This second website, together with the social media, will be the backbone of the Expect Everything campaign that is taking over the EU Campaign “Science is a Girl Thing” and redeveloping it, starting a new approach to engage teenage girls in STEM studies and careers. This website has been developed both in mobile version and computer version.
The final website is the result of a very participatory process from all the partners of the project. The process that has led to these websites has been intertwined with the development of all the branding and campaign visual image, as one could not be developed without the other.
Process:
A poll was developed by BureauQ, NEMO and Ecsite. It was shared with all of the partners and third parties. 9 out of 17 partners answered the call. Once the results of the poll where were gathered and analysed, Ecsite together with NEMO and Bureau BQ held 4 face to face meetings, including one with the selected designers.
Structures, contents, trends, relevant information and strategies were discussed and decisions were made concerning working methods, the schedule and above all, structure, tone and contents of the website.
Several meetings took place in Amsterdam, Dublin and Brussels among WP6 , WP1 and designers to prepare the branding and websites.
In order to ensure that the website was gender inclusive all the contents and wireframes were reviewed by Hypatia gender panel. Ecsite coordinated this revision making sure it was delivered on time and that their comments were implemented. The website was finally launched on April 15, 2016.
The coordination of the website portal included as well the development of branding image as well as the factsheet of the project. The development of these 3 sub-projects started before the kick-off meeting and finished with the delivery of the final website on April 13 of 2016.

Task 6.4 European Stakeholder Workshop
This European workshop took place in Brussels on the 30th of June 2016 and had a twofold aim. The first was to share the initial development of the resources and receive feedback on how they can be shaped to be relevant for the research and industry partners. The second aim of the workshop was to discuss in depth the role of industries and research institutions in Europe on inspiring girls in STEM related careers. The preparation for this Event begun on M6 of the project. The event was titled : Making your Business More Gender Inclusive.
An invitation for the event was circulated to all partners and dissemination efforts of the event were led by Ecsite.

Use of resources
All project partners provided the coordinator with the requested financial information for the first internal reporting period (M1-M09) filling in a financial form distributed to them and shared in the internal communication website. This Excel template included a specific “Explanation of the use of resources” tab so that partners could describe in detail all costs incurred by major cost items and allowed the coordinator to track the financial information submitted by beneficiaries, check if some items were not properly described and give them relevant feedback for improvement, whenever needed. Additionally Partners were requested to send their timesheets in order for the coordinator to track down more specifically the time spent by partner per Work package.
Overview of eligible costs The overview below covers the reporting period of month 1-month 9 of the project. Partners were requested to report on this period based on the quality and assurance plan the coordinator developed in order to give enough time until the one year report to gather all information from all partners, to give them back feedback and to be able to provide on time a representative image of the situation so far. Below it can be found the overview of budget spent so far in the project in 33

matter of personnel costs, travel and other direct costs. The partners have spent in the period of month 1 –month 9, 31% of their person month allocated, 24% of their personnel costs and 28% of their travel expenses. In general the budget is spent in accordance to the work plan and to the tasks foreseen by the project. The amount spent on the other direct costs is slightly less than the average of this period but this makes sense as most related expenses ( hubs launches, seminars for head teachers etc ) will occur in the coming months.

According to the analysis made above, WP1 efforts in the first 9 months of the project reached 30% of the time spending. This reflects the setting up efforts of both coordinator of the project (NEMO) and Ecsite as coordinator of Third parties to set up management structures for the project overall and for the third parties respectively.
WP2 efforts have reached out 83% of the overall time spent and this reflects the fact that WP2 efforts are concentrated according to the project planning on the first year of the project as this WP is setting up the theoretical framework of the project.
When it comes to WP3 efforts, the amount spent (36%) of the overall time considered for this WP reflects the time spent by main partners in setting up the Hubs and preparing the launches.
WP4 efforts similarly correspond to the fact the efforts of this WP are concentrated on the fiest year of the project.
WP5 efforts are saved for the second and third year of the project and thus time spent so far on this wp is very limited.
WP6 efforts have been heavy since on the first year Ecsite prepared and launched project branding and campaign as well as prepared the main European dissemination event of the project the European Stakeholders event.
Looking at the time spent per partner, there is overall a consistency with Third parties saving their pms for their main tasks in the project. WP3 has the biggest variation in time spent per WP as depending on the country the models of Hubs vary from a smaller to a much bigger number of members.

Summary: This report presents the outcomes of the workshop “Making your Business More Gender Inclusive: An Opportunity for Growth”, which took place on 30 June 2016 in Brussels. Organised by Ecsite, in the context of the Hypatia project, “Making your Business More Gender Inclusive” gathered 64 top European industry representatives, European policy makers, researchers and museum professionals from 14 countries to discuss the role the industry sector has in engaging young people, and especially girls, in STEM related careers. Invited participants were curated by partners and third parties to assure quality, diversity and representativeness of participants. The workshop presented five sessions in which participants had the chance to exchange views on the current research on gender in relation to building the next generation of the European workforce, retaining talent and discussing how having a more gender diverse sector is beneficial for organisations. The event was moderated by Quentin Cooper, host of BBC Radio 4’s Material World. Speakers included, Julie Ward, Member of the European Parliament, David McDonald, Philanthropy Director for Women in Science, L’Oréal Foundation, Ken Armistead, Director of Corporate Communications at PPG EMEA and Donna Herdsman, Director at Hewlett Packard in the United Kingdom & Ireland Enterprise Service Business.

Report
Summary of Sessions
Welcome and introduction by Marjolein van Breemen Marjolein van Breemen, Head of NEMO’s Science Learning Centre and Hypatia’s project Coordinator, welcomed participants and introduced the project. Through her years at NEMO Science Museum, Ms van Breemen worked in many projects related to gender. This experience culminated with Hypatia, a project that presents a new approach: instead of targeting one segment of stakeholders, Hypatia gathers industry, schools, policymakers, parents and last but not least teenagers themselves to make more young people enthusiastic about STEM studies and careers. Hypatia project aims for a more gender inclusive education both in schools, museums and industries. The project develops a European wide campaign for and with teenagers, encouraging young people to open up their possibilities, to expect everything and to be confident. Further, the project creates a set of activities and guidelines especially designed for schools, museums and industries in order to engage teenagers. As a museum, company, university or other organisation we have the obligation for the future generations to work together for more interest in STEM careers.
Key note by Julie Ward During her presentation, Julie Ward, member of the European Parliament, shared her experiences not only as a policy maker, but as an artist and activist. One particularly interesting story tells the tale of how she was the only woman participating in a project in which artists and engineers were invited to collaborate. Sitting historical engineers, Ms Ward illustrated how women contributed to engineering but were quite often forgotten: Women come to engineering in quiet ways but their presence ruffles the water. During her presentation, Ms Ward stressed how the interaction between artists, scientists and citizens is key to the development of functional societies and to bringing added value to both arts and sciences. One strategy that encourages synergies and cooperation between the two fields is to push for the agenda for STEAM - putting the A for Arts back into Science Technology Engineering & Maths (STEM). Serving in both the Parliament's Culture & Education Committee and the Committee on Gender Equality and Women's Rights, Julie Ward has a tracked history for pushing for the development of gender equality, and often highlights "Gender diversity is not just for the benefit of women, but for men and society as well".
Key note by Donna Herdsman With a vast experience in STEM companies, Donna Herdsman eloquently answered the question: why business should be concerned with gender equality? Research indicates that diverse teams make better decisions. Companies in the top quartile for gender or racial and ethnic diversity are more likely to have financial returns above their national industry medians. Further, when companies do commit themselves to diverse leadership they are more successful. Noland, Moran & Kotschwar for Peterson Institute found a positive correlation between the presence of women in corporate leadership and performance. A single woman on the board may not lead directly to more profit. However, they concluded that at least three women are needed for their voice to be heard and for the dynamics of the board to change substantially. Among the challenges faced by STEM industries, Herdsman indicated issues with affording STEM university studies, cultural stereotypical perceptions of women, unconscious biases and lack of role models. Herdsman ended her presentation putting forward actions that can generate changes in gender equality in STEM related industries such as initiating apprentices and mentoring

programmes, proactive talent management, better recruitment practices and visible senior role models.
Presentation by Marianne Achiam Marianne Achiam was in charge of presenting to the participants the way the Hypatia project approaches gender. Marianne presented the key findings of her work with Henriette Holmegard that led them to producing Hypatia’s framework for gender inclusion.
She started going back to the differences between biological sex and gender as they do not fully coincide. Growing evidence suggests that the ‘essential, hardwired differences’ between the two sexes may be a majority opinion rather than a scientific fact. Biological sex is biological sex whereas gender is a concept that refers to the social differences between women and men that have been learned are changeable over time and have wide variations both within and between cultures. This background information leads to the question of why this is a problem in bringing more young people and especially girls to science. That is, as Marianne explained, because society is gendered, so is science. Thus, the way we understand gender is crucial. This has many implications as to change youth’s access to science, there needs to be an understanding of how STEM cultures include specific ways of doing gender while excluding others. To do so, the two researchers have produced a framework for gender inclusion that goes from the individual level to the societal level and what are these different levels:
To wrap-up she made a summary that explains in 2 sentences the way Hypatia approaches gender in science education:
Considers the interests, aspirations and personalities to vary as widely within the groups of biological sexes as they do between the groups Considers gender to be constructed at the individual, interactional, institutional and societal/cultural levels
After her presentation Ms Achiam invited participants to join her in a gender bias test.
Conversation with David McDonald and Ken Armistead Quentin Cooper discussed successful programmes addressing gender on STEM related industries with David McDonald and Ken Armistead. Since science and women are both core themes to L’Oréal and its foundation, the L’Oréal Foundation started working with the issue of under representation of women in Science nearly 19 years ago. In 1998, the foundation established an awards programme with UNESCO to recognize leading women scientists who could go to win the Nobel (3% of women go on to win a scientific Nobel prize). The programme aimed from the beginning to shine a light on the problem and to create more female role models. In 2001, the foundation created fellowships for doctoral and postdoctoral women to help give

them the means they need to continue their careers, noting that it is at this stage of their careers we see a drop-off in the number of women scientists.
Ken Armistead from PPG comes from a total different field where women are underrepresented. Answering to the questions of Quentin Cooper, he presented how PPG has been working on the issue and their strategic approach and new targets they have set to recognise and create a balanced work environment that attracts, retains and advances women. The public had the chance to exchange with David McDonald and Ken Armistead after the interview. We will just highlight two of the comments:
Sharing Experiences Working in small groups, participants were invited to share best practices and challenges that they are facing when addressing gender issues in their work. The exercise started in the beginning of the workshop, when Quentin Cooper asked participants to consider the challenges and opportunities they saw in their filed in relation to gender inclusion. Participants were invited to write down the challenges in red cards and the opportunities in green cards and bring their notes to the small group discussions in which they were working afterwards. Each group had a facilitator from one of the Hypatia’s partner organisations and its participants were appointed before the event by taking into account both the field and country of residency of participants, aiming to assure diversity. The groups were as follow:

At the end of the session, one person per group reported on the most striking fact, or the idea that the group thought was more important to share with other participants.
