The project to develop a plan for gender equality for the University of Beira Interior surged in 2009 as an outcome of a research project. It is a groundbreaking initiative in Portugal since it will be the first equality plan in a public university. It receives public funding from the strategic framework (through the QREN-POPH). This paper promotes a reflection on the context of development of this project - UBIgual - discussing its proceedings and the main difficulties and potentialities of the application of a UE social policy.

Keywords : Gender equality; universities; gender equality plans; equality policies.
