A notable project was GRANteD, launched in 2019 to investigate gender bias in research grant allocation and its effects on academic careers. Funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme, the project ran from 2019 to 2023 and brought Teresa Mom Consultancy together with research organizations and universities in Austria, Sweden, Germany, and Spain.
