Equal opportunities

MU implements various measures to promote gender equality as part of the University's strategic commitment to the principles of transparency, equality and accountability while balancing the work and personal lives of all its employees and students. MU fulfils this commitment at the level of its units and through the activities of the University as a whole.

The framework for the development and implementation of effective measures to achieve the objectives in the priority areas of gender equality at MU and within MU units is contained in the MU Gender Equality Plan 2022-2024.

The measures of the MU Gender Equality Plan 2022-2024 are proposed based on the results and recommendations of gender audits carried out by MU units in the period 03-07/2021. These findings were supported by content analysis of documents, analysis of statistical data results from questionnaire surveys, group discussions with selected groups of people, and individual and group interviews.

Combining work/study and parenthood

The University and its units strive to facilitate and support flexible forms of work and create conditions for providing childcare and family care to enable employees to balance work and family responsibilities.

Maternity, paternity and parental leave

Since 2013, there has been a so-called Recognised Period of Parenthood (UPR), during which the college makes arrangements to take account of your new life situation. It can be used by a student on maternity leave or parental leave.

Studiyng materials

The aim of the project is the prevention of gender-based violence at academic and research institutions in the Czech Republic.

Research (2012) has shown that there is a high prevalence of violence against women in the Czech Republic and that this type of violence is occurring mainly in a workspace (28% of women in the Czech Republic) or during their studies.

The project produced educational videos informing about gender-based violence and sexual harassment in the work environment of public academic and research institutions.

NKC - Gender and Science is a specialised unit that focuses on promoting gender equality in research, supporting research organisations and government in promoting gender equality in science and research.
