Polish policy makers have developed a higher education reform in the country aimed at achieving greater university autonomy, strategic governance, leadership, management and operational efficiency. The new law is intended to provide higher education institutions with autonomy to determine their internal governance and organisation structures. Among the new practices, the policy strengths the role of the rector, provides a new funding model in which funds are awarded to universities rather than to their organisational units. In addition, universities will have more autonomy to allocate the combined subsidy they will receive for teaching and research. Finally, while maintaining its academic ethos, the policy creates new dynamics and stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship in universities, therefore opening more room for managerial decisions and stimulating innovation on business partnerships.

Launched in 2004, the AKKA is a gender-integrated leadership programme that aims at raising gender knowledge and awareness and providing methods and tools for structural change to achieve sustainable gender equality. Providing short and long-term goals, the programme initially focused on encouraging female researchers working at Lund University to apply for deans and vice- deans, in order to further achieve the final goal of increasing the number of female leaders at the institution.
In addition to focusing on the number of women in leadership roles, the programme also implemented awareness campaigns and provided methods and tools to pursue structural changes, involving both women and men in such actions. To this end, seminars, workshops and a project work were designed and serve as discussion forums where participants exchange experiences and knowledge. Precisely in the project work, the purpose is to identify and analyse particular discriminatory practices from an integrated gender and diversity perspective, pursuing possibilities for change through constructive solutions.
Since its launch the programme has been offered annually for senior scholars at the university and, among other positive impacts, it has increased the number of women in leading positions, contributed to their visibility as potential leaders, increased willingness of both genders to undertake leadership positions, and developed tools to deal with resistance to gender issues and for change management.

The University of Stavanger had 45.2% women in associate professorships, but only 21.2% female professors at the beginning of 2015. Through “Women towards the top – UiS in movement and balance”, the university started a long-term commitment with a focus on awareness and accountability of the line management to increase the numbers of females in top research positions. This was the starting point for the University of Stavanger to implement a number of organisational and personal measures to improve its gender statistics, and especially focus on how the university could lift already employed female associated professor-to-professor level competency. It has been an important part of the project to include leaders, allocate funds to the selected groups of women participating in the project and to have this as part of the internal Leader development program to ensure these differences are top of mind in appraisal interview and when hiring. At the starting point of the project, the percentage of female professors was as low as 20 percent, three years later this number had increased to 35 percent. UiS continued to support the project after the 3-year project period with economic support from the Norwegian Research Council was over in 2018, the goal for the next period is to have 45 % female professors in 2022.

The Programme on Gender Balance in Senior Positions and Research Management (BALANSE) is a policy-oriented programme at the Research Council with a ten-year programme period (2012–2022). The main objective of the programme is to promote gender equality and gender balance in Norwegian research.
The gender imbalance is a systemic challenge that the institutions cannot solve individually. The BALANSE programme provides incentives to institutions to take on greater responsibility for improving gender balance.
The programme seeks to promote gender equality and gender balance in Norwegian research, with particular focus on increasing the proportion of women in senior academic and research management positions, helping to bring about structural and cultural change in the research system to facilitate this.
BALANSE funding may be sought by universities, university colleges, research institutes, and research-intensive trade and industry. An example of a project implemented in the University of Stavanger with partial support of this funding programme can be found in the inspiring practice 13 above.

General objectives include: promoting an organisational culture and a working environment that is inclusive and fair for both genders; organising research, teaching and dissemination actions that are attractive to both men and women and gives employees of both genders equal opportunities; and implementing an active recruitment policy that equalises a skewed gender selection and prevents indirect discrimination. Measures such as ensuring the presence of women and men in lectures in all programmes and at all levels, using both genders in the media, balancing the composition of decision- making boards, councils and committees, and using the School’s salary policy as a means to achieve the targets for the recruitment of women make part of the plan.
