Gender Equality Plan
At Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center (IBG), we believe that scientific excellence and institutional development are only possible when combined with the principles of diversity and inclusion. In this regard, we consider it our institutional responsibility to take structural and sustainable steps that support gender equality.

The main objective of the Gender Equality Plan is to promote gender equality within IBG and to create an inclusive working and research environment where women and men have equal opportunities.
Key Goals

- Ensuring gender balance in decision-making mechanisms,
- Enhancing transparency and fairness in recruitment and promotion processes,
- Implementing a zero-tolerance policy against gender-based violence, harassment, and mobbing,
