A follow-up grant, the activities the Center develops fall into two basic lines. The first is to support women researchers' participation in European research, promote equal opportunities in science and research and support early career researchers, including the development of practical tools for achieving these objectives and making recommendations for policy-making . The second line is the theoretical exploration of feminist epistemology and science studies from a gender perspective on issues of knowledge production, power and gender. The Centre carried out the following projects: information portal Infomat , Young Talents (this project built on the project Woman of the Month and aimed to present successful young women researchers). The Center also published its own newsletter and online magazine Context: Journal for gender and knowledge. Since 2005, the Centre participated in the European Researchers' Night events.

The publication explores gender aspects of researchers’ career plans, academic mobility, combination of research and parenthood, image of science in the media and gender equality policies in science. The introductory chapter discusses current changes in research and position of women in Czech science.
Building on Law’s modes of mattering (2004), the authors explore enactments of ‘women and science’ in various locations where gender and feminist approaches, science policies and support activities meet in European context.

The paper focuses on perceptions and constructions of sexual harassment by students and the gap between students’ individual definitions and expert definitions of sexual harassment. The paper centres on two main research questions: i) how do studentsperceive sexual harassment and ii) what are the factors and dimensions that contribute to particular behaviour being labelled assexual harassment? The study is based on qualitative in-depth interviews with students.
The problem of sexual harassment at universities has been “explored” by western and primarily American sociology in the middle of the 1970s. Since then, anti-harassment policies and procedures (including the follow-up victim care) have been established at most of the Anglo-Saxon universities designing how to deal with “harassers” as well as “victims”. In the Czech Republic, an empirical research concerning the issue as well as university anti-harassment policies are still missing.
