The ICMAT has an Equality Committee whose aim is to propose actions to promote diversity in mathematical research and, specifically, within the institute.
The objectives of the Committee include:
- Contributing to increasing interest in mathematics among groups underrepresented in the scientific sphere in terms of sex, gender identity, ethnic, economic or social background, or disability. Making the work of people from these groups more visible.
- Joining national and international initiatives on gender equality, diversity and inclusion.
- Encouraging the participation of researchers belonging to underrepresented groups in ICMAT research and outreach programmes.
- Monitoring data on the presence of women and other underrepresented groups in different aspects of research in mathematics and, especially, in activities organised at ICMAT.
The ICMAT has a Code of Conduct, which applies to all activities and events organized or hosted by the center and which is expected to be known and complied by all ICMAT members and visitors.
