Equal opportunities at KI
Karolinska Insitutet's work for equal opportunities means that no one should be discriminated against or harassed because of gender, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation or age. For Karolinska Institutet it is important to provide an inclusive work and study environment in which all students and co-workers are treated with respect and where the conditions are excellent for working and developing.
