Despite significant progress in the field of gender equality, differences in pay between women and men remain one of the major structural challenges in the labour market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the key foundations of the project is the <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/dir\/2023\/970\/oj\/eng\">EU Directive on Pay Transparency<\/a>, which aims to strengthen the application of the principle of <em>equal pay for equal work or work of equal value<\/em>. CLEAR PAY will contribute to its practical implementation through the development of practical tools, capacity-building for different stakeholders, and the promotion of cooperation between employers, employees, institutions and civil society organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The project activities will target <strong>three key groups<\/strong>: SMEs in STEM sectors, employees (with a particular focus on women from vulnerable and underrepresented groups), and social partners and decision-makers. Planned activities include the development of a practical tool for monitoring pay transparency (Pay Transparency Toolkit), training and mentoring support for SMEs, as well as pilot activities to test the developed solutions in practice. A dedicated component of the project will focus on employee empowerment through workshops addressing pay transparency rights, the recognition of inequalities, and the development of negotiation and self-advocacy skills. Through the exchange of experiences, collaborative learning and the development of policy recommendations, the project will contribute to strengthening institutional capacities and establishing sustainable mechanisms for implementing the principle of equal pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The CLEAR PAY consortium brings together six partner institutions and organisations from three European countries: National Management School and Dignita Foundation from Bulgaria, the Institute Mihajlo Pupin and the Association of Business Women from Serbia, and the Gender Equality Research Institute and Styria Chamber of Commerce from Slovenia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The implementation of project activities is expected to start in January 2027, with a planned duration of <strong>24 months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLEAR PAY \u2013 The Institute Mihajlo Pupin is part of an international consortium implementing the CLEAR PAY project, selected for funding under the European Union's Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) Programme.
