Equality, diversity and inclusion

NMBU wants to have an inclusive and diverse working life and student environment where everyone should be valued and have equal opportunities. 

The work with equality, diversity and inclusion is part of NMBU's strategic work. The university wants to achieve a balanced gender distribution at all levels of the organization: students, all groups of employees, councils, committees and governing bodies, and not least at different levels in study and career paths. By understanding and living a culture characterized by equality and diversity, NMBU will benefit from the full range of resources in its search for the best researchers, the best students, the best lecturers, and the best leaders. 

NMBU shall comply with the requirements set by the Norwegian authorities and the EU regarding gender equality, diversity, and inclusion. In addition, NMBU aims to contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals on gender equality and reduced inequalities. To fulfill this, and its own ambitions, NMBU has developed an Action Plan. 

The Action Plan defines goals and actions, outlines responsibilities, and lists the necessary resources for improving gender equality at NMBU.
