Work environment and equal terms
Stockholm University shall be characterised by a safe, stimulating and sustainable working environment. All employees and students shall be treated equally and in a respectful manner. A good and sustainable work environment requires that we all actively participate and together create an inclusive organisation that benefits us all. Equal opportunities is a collective term for promoting equal rights and opportunities for all employees and students regardless of gender, gender identity or gender expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation or age.
