Work Environment and Equal Opportunities
Equal Opportunities
All employees and students at Uppsala University shall be met with respect and given the opportunity to work and conduct their studies with equal opportunities, free of discrimination based on the seven discrimination grounds given in the Discrimination Act:
- sex
- transgender identity or expression
- ethnicity
- religion or other belief
- disability
- sexual orientation
- age
The faculty of science and technology’s committee for equal opportunities has overall responsibility for the work on equal opportunities issues. Each year, the equal opportunities committee produces an action plan for the faculty’s equal opportunities work.
Equal Opportunities at the Faculty of Science and Technology
The Faculty of Science and Technology’s Equal Opportunities Committee has overall responsibility for initiatives concerning equal opportunities. However, most of the work is carried out at the faculty’s departments. Each department has an equal opportunities representative and an equal opportunities group.
The faculty also has two equal opportunities coordinators focusing on equal opportunities for students with disabilities and/or other special needs.
The Equal Opportunities Committee produces an annual action plan for the faculty’s equal opportunities initiatives.
