abstract in English:	The successful implementation of Gender Equality Plans (GEPs)1 in research organisations remains a difficult challenge. Problems typically stem from a lack of practitioners’ respective "know how" but are also related to scattered efforts at inter - and intra-organisational levels. The Horizon 2020 project ACT2 aims at overcoming these struggles in implementing GEPs by promoting institutional change through the advancement of Communities of Practice (CoPs). For this purpose, ACT in a first step carried out a Community Survey to map actors - practitioners and experts - who are engaged in the advancement of gender equality (GE) objectives at Research Performing (RPOs) and Research Funding Organisations (RFOs) across Europe. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of key results on GE implementation activities based on survey responses, as well as the experienced struggles and needs for improvement.Furthermore, first results of the conducted Social Network Analysis (SNA) are presented, showing some of the most central and well-connected regions but also gaps in the existing network of cooperation regarding GE.
