The Workers' Committee (Comissão de Trabalhadores, CT) established, for the 2021–2025 mandate, an action plan that seeks, on the one hand, to continue the work previously carried out by the CT and, on the other, to update its major strategic objectives in light of the impact of the pandemic.
The year 2020 brought profound changes to the sphere of work, generating personal and societal challenges, particularly regarding the reconciliation of professional and family life, as well as the impact of teleworking and distance learning within the academic community. A careful analysis of this impact, alongside close monitoring of the institution's management, therefore becomes a strategic objective of the Workers' Committee for the four years.
At the same time, climate change and the urgency of actions consistent with a state of climate emergency—widely acknowledged within the scientific community—mean that the CT's activity plan does not reflect a vision of a "return to normality." All mechanisms and actions aimed at reducing the ecological footprint should be considered, beginning with the application of sustainability principles within the CT itself.
The plan aligns with the European Union's priorities for 2021–2027, with particular emphasis on inclusion, sustainability, and the digital transition. It also takes into account Iscte's strategic vision as set out in its 2018–2021 plan and the 2020–2022 development projects.
Summary
The action plan for the 2021–2025 period is structured around three strategic axes.
The first axis, focused on fostering a sense of community, aims to:
Strengthen institutional relations with Iscte's governing and management bodies;
Increase the active participation of workers in CT initiatives and improve access to information about its activities;
Promote the exchange of experiences and dialogue among workers from different professional categories—teaching staff, researchers, and technical-administrative personnel.
The second axis, specifically related to the quality and conditions of work at Iscte, prioritises:
Career planning for both academic and non-academic staff;
Monitoring the implementation of regulations concerning the career of researchers under individual employment contracts at Iscte;
Assessing the impact of the pandemic on workers, particularly in terms of work–life balance, and closely monitoring working conditions.
The third axis includes a set of initiatives and concrete actions aimed at:
Sustainability, within a context that recognises the climate emergency as a reality requiring urgent and unavoidable action;
Ensuring inclusion, gender equality, and non-discrimination by equipping workers with concrete mechanisms and tools, designed according to best practices, to guarantee protection against all forms of discrimination, racism, and sexual or moral harassment in the workplace.
