Equality committee of the Cajal Institute (IC)

The IC Equality Committee was established in January 2024, aligning with the equality policies enacted by both the General State Administration and the CSIC. Its primary mission is to enact genuine and impactful gender mainstreaming within the IC, thereby guaranteeing parity in rights, responsibilities, and opportunities between women, men, and avoiding gender discrimination. To address any concerns, inquiries, or suggestions, you can contact this Committee through: igualdad.ic@cajal.csic.es or directly with any of its members by telephone or in person and completely anonymously using the purple mailbox located at the entrance of the library.
