Anna Berga and Timoneda, general secretary of the University Ramon Llull and president of the Women and Science Committee of the Interuniversity Council of Catalonia (CIC) spoke next with a paper on the protocols against gender and LGBT violence in Catalan universities.

To close the day, there was a round table of experiences on gender violence in universities with the sharing of different resources that some of the universities of the Vives Network have, such as the Violeta Space at the University of Valencia; the online course: 'Online, free and safe' at the University Pompeu Fabra; the actions to raise awareness and prevention of masclist violence at the University of Lleida; and the diagnosis of masclist and lgtbifophobic violence among the staff of the Open University of Catalunya (UOC).

Since 2013, the universities of the Vives Network have been working through this group of experts to eliminate existing inequalities between men and women at the university and have published the collection of Guidelines for university teaching with a gender perspective or the reports on the gender perspective in teaching and research at universities.
