Anália Torres, PhD in Sociology, is a Full Professor and Coordinator of the Sociology Unit at the Institute of Social and Political Sciences, University of Lisbon (ISCSP-UL). Founder and coordinator of CIEG, Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies (www.cieg.iscsp.ulisboa.pt), the first scientific research centre in Portugal exclusively dedicated to gender, feminist and women's studies. With an interdisciplinary perspective, this Centre brings together 44 national researchers from different fields, experts in gender studies. Founded in 2012, CIEG was rated Excellent by international evaluations panels (2015-2019) promoted by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). Her experience in scientific positions at national and international level is extensive. She was elected member of the Executive Committee of the European Sociological Association (ESA) (2005-2009) and as President from 2009 to 2011. Amongst other evaluation activities within the European Commission (EC), she integrated the evaluation panel SH2-Institutions, Values, Beliefs and Behavior of the European Research Council (ERC), where she continues to serve as remote evaluator. At national level, she was elected President of the Portuguese Sociological Association (APS) (2002-2006), and appointed Member of FCT Scientific Council for Social Sciences and the Humanities (2012-2014). Since 2020, she belongs to the Management Board of A3ES. As Coordinator of the Sociology Unit at ISCSP-UL, she was co-responsible for the creation of a PhD in Sociology (2014-) gathering several institutions and universities. She had the initiative of creating a PhD in Gender Studies, gathering in consortium CIEG/ISCSP-UL, the Faculty of Law and the School of Social Sciences and Humanities of Nova Univ. Lisbon. The course started in 2018/2019 with 30 students and is going on very successfully. She created several post-graduate courses: in ISCTE, Master in Family and Society (2002-); in ISCSP, Master in Sociology and Family and Gender (both in 2012-); she founded a Postgraduate Course on Gender Equality (2018-); and since 2016 Training Courses on Gender Equality ministered in ISCSP for very wide audiences. She is author, co-author or editor of more than 20 books, 4 of them as a sole author and 80 book chapters, in Portuguese and other languages and papers in national and international scientific journals. She belongs to several editorial teams of national and international peer-reviewed journals. Since 1995, she participates in several European research networks and, since 2002, belongs to the national executive committee responsible for implementing the European Social Survey in Portugal. She coordinated several work packages from research projects within Framework Programs 6 and 7 (WORKCARE - 2006-2009; WORKCARE Synergies (2009-2011). Since 1988 she coordinated 14 research projects and 7 evaluation projects, most of them funded through competitive calls, and represented Portugal in 8 international projects. The research carried out has considerably outreach resulting in publications disseminated both to the academic community and to media. The social impact of her work and of the teams she directs, is highly reputable and has contributed to change directly and indirectly several laws in Portugal (Divorce reform, 2008, Harassment 2018 among others).
