The Equity Committee canalises the institute's efforts to promote equal opportunity and looks after female and non-binary staff in order to ensure the workplace is a safe space.

The Equity Committee has developed the ICE-CSIC Code of Conduct.

This committee also compiles and promotes relevant documentation on gender issues already available within CSIC and other pertinent institutions, identifying measures that we can implement locally to improve and prevent and/or handle bullying and harassment.

Members involved also address possible administrative hurdles for non-Spanish residents regarding mobility and contract matters, strengthening equal opportunities within the Institute.
