Our Gender Equality Plan
Internationality, diversity and collaboration are among the core values on which we have been building Human Technopole. Since our first days of activity, we have been fully committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, fostering diversity and equal opportunities for employment.
We are proud to introduce our Gender Equality Plan (GEP) which, through a set of actions and measures, formalises our commitment to gender equality. The plan responds to the guidelines of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) aimed at identifying and implementing innovative strategies to promote cultural change and equal opportunities in Universities and Research Centres.
Our Gender Equality Plan is based on HT’s context and needs and has been drafted based on an analysis carried out through a participative process among our staff with the aim of promoting equal opportunities and fairness across all genders within the HT community.
A coordinating team, covering different HT functions, is nominated by HT Director and supports the implementation of the Plan. You can find further information on the latest Gender Equality Plan here.

Childhood Cancer: Free DNA in Blood Reveals Therapy Resistance
An international study coordinated by Milan’s Human Technopole, the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London, and the Royal Marsden Hospital in London has shown that certain DNA fragments found in the blood of paediatric cancer patients can be used as “biomarkers” to obtain information on the characteristics of the disease and its ability to resist therapies. Analysing these fragments could represent an effective alternative to tumour tissue biopsy, a practice that is particularly difficult in children.
