Diversity & Inclusion
The research world thrives on competence, creativity and the active participation of diverse individuals and groups. At WSL you will find people of all genders, ages and professional and cultural backgrounds, people with their own individual relationship concepts, and people with disabilities. Their differences are a source of innovation, inspiration and outstanding accomplishments. The role of our WSL Diversity & Inclusion office is to ensure that everyone’s qualities and talents are appreciated in an atmosphere of respect and fair play.
WSL actively supports and encourages female scientists along their career paths and has various programs and training in place. For more about our activities please consult our overview on the WSL Equity Strategy 2022-2024, the extended version of the WSL Gender Action Plan 2022-2024 and our project pages below.
The project pages also provide information on opportunities for WSL employees to represent themselves in the various networks that are operating at the institute.
