description Many European organisations have committed to and formally adopted gender mainstreaming and gender budgeting strategies; however, their implementation has not been as effective as anticipated. The Department of Gender Studies at the University of Iceland has been collaborating with public sector organisations in Iceland, a City and a University, to advance implementation of these strategies. The collaboration entails post-graduate students analysing the problem representation and gendering of public activities and providing policy actors with research-informed advice on how to integrate a gender perspective in their management procedures and processes. Drawing on interview data with the policy actors involved in the collaboration projects, we found organisational noncommitment to gender mainstreaming and gender budgeting, lack of knowledge about these issues and a superficial approach to implementing the strategies.

El Departamento de Estudios de Género de la Universidad de Islandia ha estado colaborando con organizaciones del sector público, una ciudad y una universidad, para avanzar en la implementación de estas estrategias. La colaboración implica que el alumnado de postgrado realiza análisis de actividades públicas desde la perspectiva de género e identifica oportunidades para integrar la perspectiva y reformar los procedimientos y procesos para avanzar en la construcción de la igualdad.
