Over the past 3 years, I have actively worked at defending equality in local academic research. I am commissioned by the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) as a corresponding agent for equality, part of the COREGAL network, to enforce the CNRS Gender Equality Plan. Our actions aim at promoting gender equality in research and fight against any form of discrimination, to provide a healthy work environment for all. After 20 years of commitment to equality, in 2024, the CNRS was awarded with the European Prize for Gender Equality in the "advanced" category.

Exhibition "Equality, let's work on it" (original title "L'égalité ça se travaille") in collaboration with the CNRS and L'égalité c'est pas sorcier. 2024

The new CNRS Gender Equality Plan is divided in 6 Axis:

  • Axis 1: Assessing, preventing and bridging the gender pay gap
  • Axis 2: Ensuring equal career opportunities
  • Axis 3: Promoting work-life balance
  • Axis 4: Combating gender-based violence, harassment and discrimination
  • Axis 5: Governing, monitoring and evaluating the gender equality policies
  • Axis 6: Integrating cross-cutting actions
