The Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) is committed to fostering a research culture where gender equality, diversity, and inclusion are integral to scientific and technological innovation.

Gender Equality at KISTI goes beyond ensuring balanced representation, as it means creating an environment where every individual has equal access to opportunities, resources, and recognition across all areas of work and responsibility.

As a national research institute leading Korea’s data and information ecosystem, KISTI strives to ensure that all members, regardless of gender, can fully realize their potential in a fair and respectful environment. KISTI integrates the principles of gender equality into its Human Rights Management Framework, implementing fair recruitment, career development, and leadership policies that support both equity and excellence.

We continuously enhance family-friendly and work-life balance systems, such as flexible work arrangements and parental leave, to create an inclusive environment that values both professional growth and personal well-being.

To sustain progress, KISTI regularly monitors the implementation of its Gender Equality Plan and publicly discloses performance outcomes in line with transparency and accountability principles. Through these ongoing efforts, we aim to strengthen our institutional culture, promote human rights awareness, and serve as a model for inclusive and equitable research innovation.
