Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

The LINCS is a laboratory attentive to issues concerning gender equality and it promotes a diverse and inclusive research context.

Currently, we count 17 different nationalities among our researchers and a women ratio of 20%. But we’re committed to do better!

In 2023 the LINCS launched regular women-only meetings, where researchers with different backgrounds and seniority can exchange freely about the challenges and strategies of pursuing a carreer in STEM (both in academia and in the industry, since LINCS gathers both).

We elaborated some “good practices” that we will implement:

We’ll provide a list of bibliographical suggestions about gender issues (such as “implicit bias”) in recrutement dynamics, to encourage senior researchers to be more aware about these patterns.

We launched a survey among our researchers to name our “scientific exchange room” after a woman scientist and we finally selected Hedy Lamarr: Austrian-born American actress (1914 – 2000), inventor of the Frequency-hopping spread spectrum, a technique used in GPS, Wifi, and Bluetooth.

We provide here below the links to the institutional bodies dealing with equality and anti-discrimination policies in the partner institutions that compose the LINCS.
