Gender Equality Plan - GEP for the years 2026 - 2032
In October 2025, the Institute of Mother and Child adopted the Gender Equality Plan (GEP) for the years 2026–2032. In accordance with the requirements of the European Commission, the adoption of such a plan is mandatory for, among others, research institutes, ministries, and universities participating in the Horizon Europe programme.
The Gender Equality Plan of the Institute of Mother and Child is a strategic document aimed at systematically introducing and consolidating solutions that promote equality, diversity, and social inclusion, particularly with regard to staff and management.
The adoption of this Plan expresses the Institute’s commitment to upholding European values and national equality standards, in line with legal regulations, the recommendations of the European Commission, and best practices in the fields of science and healthcare. This document serves as a tool for monitoring progress, evaluating implemented actions, and inspiring the continuous improvement of an organizational culture based on respect and partnership.
The Plan was adopted and implemented by the Order of the Director of the Institute of Mother and Child no.79/2025.
In line with the assumptions of the Plan, it is possible to report needs and issues related to the implementation of the Gender Equality Plan at the Institute of Mother and Child by sending an e-mail to: gep@imid.med.pl,
Progress in achieving the objectives set out in the Plan will be monitored and described in annual reports published on the IMC website.
