RUFA is proud to announce that it has obtained the Gender Equality Certification, a recognition that attests to the Academy’s concrete commitment to promoting a fair, inclusive working environment focused on valuing people.
For RUFA, gender equality represents a fundamental value, an integral part of its cultural and educational vision. We believe that talent can fully thrive only within a context capable of ensuring equal opportunities, respect for diversity, and attention to work-life balance.
This achievement is the result of a structured path involving governance, human resources management processes, and internal development policies. A commitment that translates into concrete actions: pay equity, equal opportunities for career growth and access to leadership roles, protection of parenthood, training on cognitive biases in recruitment processes, promotion of a merit-based culture, and zero tolerance for any form of discrimination or harassment.
The certification represents an important milestone, but above all a starting point. RUFA will continue to invest in improving its internal policies, staff wellbeing, and in building an increasingly inclusive, aware, and responsible academic community.
Our commitment to gender equality is part of a broader vision that places people, education, and growth at the center: from students, supported throughout their journey into the professional world, to the entire academic and administrative staff, sustained through welfare plans, continuous training, and policies focused on equity.
