One of the important conditions for ensuring high quality teaching, research and artistic activity is an equality-based, open and diverse academic and working environment. 91ÁÔÆæ, aiming to implement standards to ensure equal treatment (including on the basis of gender), adopted the Plan for Gender Equality 2022-2026 in February 2022.
The plan was developed by a team of experts. When preparing the document, the team was guided by the provisions of our Statutes, our 2021-2026 Strategy, the NCU Personnel Policy, YUFE's strategic documents, and they also used the results of a statistical diagnosis of the university's gender structure as well as the conclusions of an extensive specialist consultation. Adoption of the Plan is a condition of eligibility to apply for grants in the European Research Area, including the Horizon programme.
The document contains a set of actions divided according to the following five strategic areas: governance and decision-making, research career development and recruitment processes, work-life balance, safe and welcoming workplace and learning environment, gender in research and curricula.
