Recruitment initiatives
Our institution adheres to the values of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility (EDIA). A committee ensures that these principles are considered in the field of research during the development of protocols and the composition of teams, as well as in the recruitment of participants, which must be representative of the groups targeted by law and take into account the social determinants that impact representativeness.
