SU Gender is entering 2021 with four H2020 projects. As of January 2021, a new project has been added to its existing portfolio consisting of the GEARING-Roles (2019-2022) project, seeking to strengthen gender equality mechanisms, and WHOLE-COMM (2021-2025) ve Re-ROOT (2021-2024) projects, examining migration and integration at different urban scales and layers. The RESISTIRE (RESpondIng to outbreaks through co-creaTIve sustainable inclusive equality stRatEgies) project, which was ranked 5th among 162 applications, has succeeded in securing over 5.2 million Euros funding under the H2020 COVID-19 call (with a Sabancı University budget of 247.975 EUR).

As a group of researchers from Turkey/located in different countries we received seed funding from the Swedish Institute to run the international collaborative project: #GenderStruggles: Building Community Resilience via Creativity and Digital Media. The project is co-hosted by the Raul Wallenberg Institute in Sweden and Sabanci University Gender and Women’s Studies Center of Excellence (SU Gender) in Turkey and aims to create digital platforms for the exchange of best practices, knowhow, and expertise among feminist and LGBTI+ activists/activist-scholars in Turkey and Sweden to promote resilience in the face of anti-gender mobilizations. Humboldt University Berlin, Center for Comparative Research on Democracy adjoins the project in collaboration with SU Gender to reach out to activists/activist-researchers in Germany.
