2.- Find “new users” , new members.
In the application we have argued that the expertise developed in
ATHENA should find its ways to four groups of ‘new users’:
 gender specialists in fields that have until now have done little
with gender in their curriculum (health sciences, economic
development studies, technology studies).

policy makers on local, national and European levels, public
and private institutions, librarians, educational publishers,
intercultural educators outside higher education (museums,
cultural institutions)

new generations of curriculum developers, trainers and
educators in professional training (young scholars, students,
new generations of gender experts who would appreciate forms
of coaching, mentoring and training by more experienced

partners in countries outside the EU (European non-member
states, and non European countries)
ATHENA 3 diss
