Introduction:
Equality of people and respect for diversity are values that allow the development of science and education. The principle of equality and the prohibition of discrimination are legal norms of a general nature, ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender or other individual characteristics, participates in various areas of life on an equal footing with others. This means that the Institute's policy takes into account the interests and needs of each person. We would like our Institute to be a place of equal opportunities, free from prejudice and discrimination, safe for everyone, functioning with respect for equality and diversity, ensuring equal treatment and respect for employees and doctoral students, as well as, scientific and professional development. The implemented Plan is also developed in order to improve the HR and recruitment policy of IGS PAS with respect to equality.
