TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The Gender Research Group (IG), attached to the University Institute for Gender Studies Research at the University of Alicante (see Figure 1), which is multidisciplinary in nature, has a long history of integrating the gender dimension in R&D&I projects and sex/gender analysis in their content. In particular, research for the development of gender-sensitive education systems has received public funding from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Agencia Estatal de Investigación) and the Conselleria de Educación, Universidades y Empleo of the Generalitat Valenciana. Likewise, the IG Group also has experience in the management of teaching innovation projects for the incorporation of the gender perspective in the teaching-learning system.

In this way, the aim is to achieve inclusive and equitable quality education, as advocated by different international organisations such as the United Nations. Specifically, schools are offered the opportunity to integrate gender awareness in their curricula, educational resources and teacher training.
TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES AND INNOVATIVE ASPECTS
The main advantages of this service are the following:
• Professional and scientific advice on gender equality, one of the main demands of today's society.
• Greater equality of rights and opportunities between men and women means an improvement in the social and economic development of all territories.
CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT
The creation of this Gender Research group responds to the need to promote research projects at the University of Alicante that give academic support to one of the main demands of today's society: to put an end to gender inequality. In this sense, the achievement of real and effective gender equality in our society requires the commitment and support of all institutions, entities and organisations, both public and private. Universities, as fundamental institutions in the generation and dissemination of knowledge, have a key role to play in changing gender stereotypes and the social roles of women and men that are present in today's society.
In this sense, thanks to funding from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (State Research Agency) and the Department of Education, Universities and Employment of the Generalitat Valenciana, the research group is developing these tools to improve gender awareness in schools.
Therefore, this service to improve gender equality in schools is now fully available.
