At CIMCYC, we recognize that comprehensive well-being, equal opportunity and the wealth of perspectives brought by diversity are key drivers of scientific excellence and the promotion of an optimal work environment. Therefore, transferring knowledge from our research in these areas and creating an institutional environment that supports the mental health and well-being of every individual are core pillars of our institutional strategy.
Our researchers lead multiple projects focused on well-being, social and gender equality, and diversity and social inclusion. This scientific foundation places us in a privileged position to implement innovative, evidence-based measures and to inspire other institutions as a driver of knowledge transfer.
CIMCYC features a dedicated area for Well-Being, Equality, and Diversity, led by expert staff with research training, to channel this knowledge. Through this initiative, we plan and promote actions that foster a healthy, equitable organizational culture built on a commitment to caring for our teams.

Public Service Space
CIMCYC has set up a public service space intended for individuals who carry out their work at CIMCYC (institute members, research staff, doctoral and master’s students, PTGAS, and cleaning service staff).
The aim is to provide these individuals with a space where they can express their needs, suggestions, or difficulties related to wellbeing, equality, and diversity within the center, so that specific solutions can be identified and implemented.
This space will be available every Wednesday from 11:30 to 13:00 in office 304 at CIMCYC. To help us stay organized, we kindly ask you to book a slot in advance through the public service calendar.
