Our Projects and Activities
G&C Knowledge Platform, 2025-2027
The project seeks to create a new platform that brings together research, gender-specific data, and practical tools on the links between gender and chemicals: the Gender & Chemicals Knowledge Platform.
The MSP Institute implements the project with the support of the Gender & Chemicals Partnership (G&CP), particularly its Working Group on ‘Gender Data & Information’.
The project is funded by the German Environment Agency (UBA) and the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN).
Know-How for European Chemicals Focal Points, 2025-2027
Through trainings on multi-stakeholder processes and gender-responsive chemicals management, the project strengthens expertise and collaboration among European Chemical Focal Points.
The MSP Institute is supported by the Gender & Chemicals Partnership (G&CP), particularly the G&CP Working Group on ‘Education & Training’, in its various activities aimed at achieving the project outputs.
The project is financially supported by the European Environmental Initiative (EURENI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN).
Gender Action Plan for the Global Framework on Chemicals, 2024-2025

Implementation of a Gender Road Map in National Chemicals Management
The project was aimed at public and private actors involved in chemicals management. Based on a Gender Road Map + Workbook, a guideline for action developed by the MSP Institute, initial impulses for the systematic integration of gender were set with workshops and longer-term support during implementation.
The project was financially supported by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety and the Federal Environment Agency.
