Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

At CEPLAS, we believe that scientific excellence thrives when equity and diversity are prioritized. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment in our recruitment processes, working conditions, and opportunities for advancement.

We acknowledge the barriers faced by underrepresented groups in science and address these challenges through a comprehensive, multi-level approach. Our strategy involves refining our structures, processes, and practices to ensure they are equitable. Additionally, we provide tailored support to meet the diverse needs of our community members, ensuring that everyone has the chance to succeed in their academic careers- regardless of gender, sexual orientation or identity, cultural and social background, family situation, health status or age.

Key activity areas

Our Equity, Diversity & Inclusion framework is built around a strategic set of measures that operate across short-, mid-, and long-term timelines. These measures focus on three key activity areas: women@CEPLAS, Work-Life Integration, and Diversity & Inclusion

Annual statistics

Systematic data collection and monitoring are essential for tracking representation within the cluster and guiding actions to promote equity and diversity. To ensure transparency, CEPLAS issues an annual report that details the cluster’s composition with a focus on internationality and gender balance. This includes a descriptive analysis of gender distribution across status groups, which aids in monitoring our progress towards fostering a diverse research community.
