REDO Lookout: Advancing gender equality and inclusion in the maritime industry

Financed by the Nordic Gender Equality Fund in 2024. Granted 450,000 DKK (€60,330).

The project is a collaboration between:

Established 2013.

Through the fund, the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) annually announces support for projects.

It supports collaborations that promote gender equality and contribute to new knowledge, the exchange of experience and Nordic networks.

To get support, at least three different organisations from at least three different Nordic countries must cooperate.

Nordic Information on Gender (NIKK) administers the fund on behalf of the NCM.

2024 saw earmarked support for projects focusing on gender equality in climate work in the Arctic.

The 2025 call for applications opens on 3 March and lasts until 3 April.

The results from the fund’s first 10 years can be found in the anniversary publication from 2023: “10! Results from 10 years of cooperation through the Nordic Gender Equality Fund”.
