Equal Opportunities Measures of the NCCR RNA & Disease

The NCCR RNA & Disease is committed to promoting equal opportunities and would like to highlight two important initiatives with a new video:

Maternity Support - Funding for a technical support person in the last trimester of pregnancy to ensure continuity of research projects during the end of pregnancy and maternity leave.

Parental leave - Up to six weeks paid parental leave for partners to encourage the sharing of caring responsibilities and enable mothers to make a smoother transition back to work.

These measures contribute to a more equal academic environment and support long-term structural change. While they cannot eliminate all challenges, they help to ensure that academic careers remain accessible to all researchers - regardless of gender or family commitments.

Watch our video and learn more about our initiatives!
