The wide range of profiles and talents at the Institut Pasteur is a great asset and one of the foundation's unique features.
Our Paris campus has staff members from 74 different countries – a huge advantage given the increasingly global nature of research. The gender equality among our staff and the wide range of ages represented are also a characteristic feature of the Institut Pasteur's identity.
Women currently represent 59% of our workforce, and 60% of those recruited in 2019 were women*. Furthermore, we obtained 98% on the professional gender equality index for year of reference (January 1st, 2019 to December 31st 2019).
In 2013, the Management team and the Institut Pasteur’s trade unions concluded an agreement on the implementation of a generation contrac; the targets for hiring young people and seniors have been surpassed.
