Continuous improvement in equality matters is part of our social commitment

A year has passed since the Equality Committee was launched at Vicomtech with the main objective of bringing together the different actions that were already carried out in the center previously, preparing the Center's Action Plan in this matter and monitoring it.

Among the most relevant actions at a social level in this matter, the participation of Vicomtech in STEAM initiatives stands out. Researchers from the center give lectures in different forums about technical careers and participate in Mentoring programs to promote the incorporation of students in the last bachelor and master courses to technology companies and research centers.

At Vicomtech we have our own and internationally recognized management system that guarantees and promotes:

• Selection processes that ensure internal equity, based on different objective tests
• Equal employment opportunities and on-the-job training
• Objectivity in the evaluation and promotion criteria
• Flexibility and opportunities for conciliation for all people under equal conditions

Our management system is made up of a pioneering and internationally validated professional career methodology for researchers and top-level international scientific publications (Q1). In addition, we have the recognition of the European Commission HR Excellence in Research that proves our commitment to the open, transparent and merit-based recruitment of researchers (OTM-R: Open, Transparent and Merit-based Recruitment of Researchers).
