The Cyprus Institute, committed to promoting gender equality and balance in its working environment, has developed a Gender Equality Plan in furthering its efforts of improving working conditions, career opportunities and prospects as well as development for all its members of staff, researchers, faculty and students.

This Gender Equality Plan is being developed following other major initiatives undertaken by the Institute such as the Employer of Equality initiative of the Republic of Cyprus funded by the European Commission, the implementation HR Excellence for Research (HRS4R Action Plan and Strategy) of Euraxess and the European Commission and the implementation of the Sound Labour Relations (SLR) of the Republic of Cyprus, funded by the European Commission.

Through the above-mentioned initiatives the Cyprus Institute is engaged in an ongoing process of improving its practices concerning gender equality and eliminating any practices that may lead into conditions that relate to inequality between genders within its community.
