AIMS & GOALS
- Promotion and dissemination of knowledge about the gender equality policies and plans of UPM, CSIC, and AGE, reinforcing the institutional commitment to gender equality.
- Evaluation and diagnosis of the CBGP’s situation regarding gender equality, using the center data, and promoting specific actions to address identified needs or deficiencies.
- Fostering visibility and recognition of the role of women in science by implementing specific actions that highlight their contributions across all work areas, and by promoting awareness of women’s roles in science as references for present and future generations (activities for February 11- International Day of Women and Girls in Science and March 8 -Women and Science).
- Serving as a communication channel to collect and convey proposals and suggestions from CBGP staff regarding equality.
- Promoting training and awareness activities on Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity, including specific training on sexual harassment and gender-based harassment.
- Encouraging the integration of gender and sex analysis in research and innovation, as well as training personnel in these areas, with the aim of incorporating a gender-equality perspective into scientific projects.
- Providing confidential support to any CBGP member who may be a victim of harassment, discrimination, or other inappropriate behavior, and advising on the tools available within each institution (CSIC and UPM) to address such situations.
- Promoting equal access to CBGP’s organizational and functional structures, in coordination with its management.
- Collaborating with other institutions (Equality Working Groups of UPM, CSIC, and SOMMa). Establishing connections with other committees, networks, or entities dedicated to gender equality to share best practices and participate in joint initiatives.
