Opening Doors is co-funded by the IOP and Government Equalities Office, running from 2014 to 2015. The project is not specific to physics, or even science, but focuses on developing a whole-school approach to addressing gender imbalance.

The project has involved two regional networks, each made up of five schools. Network schools offered each other mutual support as they work to improve gender balance.

The evidence from the site visits was used to compile a guide to good practice for schools on addressing gender imbalance.

For more information on the Opening Doors project, please email education@iop.org.

The full guide was launched at a conference on 20 October 2015 and is available here.
