Teams council

Gender equity committee

The Gender Equity Committee (GEC) performs an advisory and monitoring role for Paris Brain Institute’s governing bodies, and takes action to promote gender equity. The work of the GEC is supported by the Gender Equity Movement (GEM) initiative, a collective of Paris Brain Institute staff who have come together to raise awareness of gender bias and inequities and propose measures to address them. Following the adoption of the Institute’s gender equality charter in 2021, the GEC developed an action plan and continued its work on awareness raising, monitoring statistics and indicators measuring gender distribution at all professional levels, together with communication campaigns and initiatives. Paris Brain Institute’s workplace gender equality index has progressed in recent years, achieving 75 in 2020, 91 in 2021, 89 in 2022 and 90 in 2023, out of a maximum score of 100.  The GEM has been organized into working groups for planning a biennial international workshop and developing a website, journal club, scientist mentoring program and broader educational activities.
