Gender equity, diversity and inclusion

Health works continuously to promote diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities. We want to be a faculty with equal opportunities, where all talents are put to good use.

Code of Conduct for Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunities at Health

Thinking innovatively and thinking big characterises our approach to the world. This requires a diversity of perspectives. We need a shared, sustained focus to create a faculty with equal opportunities, where all talents are brought into play.

Therefore, we stand together on the following goals for diversity, inclusion and equality:

We will:

  • promote a culture that is inclusive and respectful of all employees and students regardless of gender, gender identity, age, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, academic ability and socio-economic status
  • work to ensure that equality, diversity and inclusion are values that are just as central as freedom of research, freedom of expression and openness
  • safeguard free dialogue and respect for different points of view
  • work to ensure that individuals have the opportunity to realise their potential
  • be a faculty that inspires bold ideas and free thinking

Health Committee for Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunities

At Health, we have established a committee to promote initiatives across the faculty and ensure a sustained focus on diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities.

The committee's 12 members represent the faculty's students, academic staff and technical-administrative staff and meet four times a year.et.
