In an effort to implement standards aimed at ensuring equal treatment (including on the basis of gender), the Nicolaus Copernicus University (UMK) in Toruń has adopted a Gender Equality Plan for 2022-2026. Adoption of the Plan is a condition of eligibility to apply for grants in the European research area.

The Plan was developed by a team of experts who were guided by the provisions of the University’s Statutes and Strategies, the UMK Personnel Policy and the strategic documents of the YUFE alliance.

The document contains a set of actions divided according to five strategic areas: governance and decision-making, academic career development and recruitment processes, work-life balance, a safe and welcoming place to work and study, and gender in research and curricula.
