Diversity and inclusion
CIMNE promotes a policy of equal opportunities and non-discrimination, celebrating diversity and supporting talent in all its forms.
At CIMNE, we foster an inclusive culture that celebrates talent in all its forms and promotes excellence through diversity. Our commitment extends beyond aspirations to concrete actions, ensuring equal opportunities and non-discrimination for all members of our community.
We implement comprehensive policies, including strict equal pay for equal work standards and work-life balance measures that exceed legal requirements. Our dedicated Equality Plan 2022-2026 outlines specific actions to advance gender balance and diversity, while our adherence to the Human Resource Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R) principles ensures merit-based, transparent recruitment processes.
We work with other Catalan research centres to learn best practices and seek targeted initiative female researchers, working actively to increase representation.
Our commitment to a safe, respectful environment is reinforced by our Alert System—a confidential channel for suggestions, concerns, and reporting, including dedicated support for sexual harassment situations. This system ensures immediate response when necessary and maintains our zero-tolerance policy for discrimination.
CIMNE’s collective effort to diversity and inclusion follows a non-conformity rule that entails all the community and self-reflects on its own policies, providing mechanisms for constant improvement.
Excellence at CIMNE is achieved through the collective talent of our diverse community, where every individual, regardless of background, is valued and supported.

- Strict policy of equal pay for equal work
- Work-life balance measures exceeding legal requirements
- Specific Equal Opportunity Plan with targeted actions
- Adherence to Human Resource Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R) principles
