This guidance note is intended for HABITABLE researchers as a “living” tool on how to best integrate gender and social equity dimensions across the key objectives of the project, its primary methods and units of analysis. It is based on bilateral discussions between WP8 and all other WP and method leads and intends to provide a critical assessment on whether these targets are met throughout the project. Given that this guidance is provided at the very beginning of the project, and that different work packages are at very early stages of their research design and development, this tool will be periodically updated as the project progresses.
