Summary:This chapter highlights how knowledge sharing between and beyond the Communities of Practice (CoPs) has been achieved specifically in relation to the three European Research Area (ERA) objectives for gender equality and mainstreaming: careers, decision-making, and integrating the gender dimension in teaching and research content. In scaling up the CoP approach, ACT established three so-called ERA priority coordination groups or ERAGs, in which cross-cutting issues related to each of the objectives were identified and addressed. These groups brought together ACT consortium partners, members of different CoPs, ACT advisory board members, experts, representatives of ERA level players and other relevant Research and Innovation representatives from the CoPs' contexts including local, regional, national and disciplinary networks. Through collaborative working, and the sharing of cutting-edge good practices, each of these groups have made substantive contributions to the debate in how to make progress in each of these areas. This chapter details the main debates in each of these three areas and tries to shed light on the priorities for future collaborative work.
