HR Excellence in Research

Gender equality

In 2026, we introduced the Equality, Diversity, And Inclusion Plan for 2026 – 2029. In the document, we have focused on the following goals:

• Ensuring balance and transparency in recruitment processes, committees, and other decision-making bodies
• Supporting work-life balance
• Preventing discrimination, harassment, and mobbing.
• Strengthening equality and diversity in research and scientific content.
• Promoting diversity and building an inclusive culture through the development of employee and leadership competencies.
• Supporting the development of scientific and professional careers regardless of gender, nationality, and origin.

The GEDI Plan has been developed in line with the IIMCB Human Resources Strategy for 2025–2030 and the HR Excellence in Research principles. It supports the Institute’s long-term strategy by strengthening the working environment, employee development, transparent processes, and a culture of equality, inclusion, and effective cooperation.

The implementation of the plan is overseen by a dedicated working group.

Recruitment

We organize open, transparent, and merit-based calls —this is one of the fundamental principles of the Institute’s operations.

• Job advertisements are published in English.
• Our job offers can be found on the IIMCB website, EURAXESS, and other international platforms.
• We inform candidates about the status of their applications.
• At every stage of the recruitment process, we involve a recruitment committee.
• We recruit regardless of age, gender, culture, race, or disability.
• We value people for their scientific excellence, creativity, mobility, potential for further development, and independence.
