Equality Office

In 2019 ESCI-UPF set up the Equality Office, which answers to the CSR Department and works in the following areas:

1. It advises different departments at ESCI-UPF on how to prepare and deliver programmes to promote gender equality policies at the school, including the Equality Plan, and coordinates specific equality actions to be carried out by academic and administrative bodies, services and units at the university.
2. It handles enquiries and complaints concerning gender violence and LGTBIphobia affecting any member of the university community and offers a range of support services.
3. It organises awareness-raising activities to bring about meaningful equality between men and women and promote respect for sexual diversity and gender identity.

ESCI-UPF’s Inclusion and Gender Equality Policies Committee is an advisory body that puts forward equality initiatives. It includes representatives from the three branches of the university community.

ESCI-UPF also sits on UPF’s Gender Equality Policies Committee.
