Achieving true equity at IIASA necessitates dedicated and ongoing efforts. The inaugural Gender Equality Report 2023 documents valuable lessons from implementing a gender equality plan at IIASA, using indicators developed and collected for the year 2023. The Institute began this journey to create a more inclusive environment where people of all genders can thrive. By sharing these experiences, IIASA aims to contribute to the broader effort to achieve gender equality across institutions.
The IIASA Gender Equality Report presents the Institute's performance in terms of gender representation in leadership, gender distribution among scientific and operational employees, the gender pay gap, gender equality in recruitment and career progression, work-life balance and organizational culture, integration of the gender dimension into research, and measures against gender-based violence. Every section is tailored to meet the gender equality indicators outlined in the IIASA Gender Equality Plan.
