Diversity & inclusion

Making a World of Difference

Innovation is enhanced by a diversity of opinions, perspectives and ideas from people with different cultural backgrounds and professional experiences. By fostering diversity in the NIBR workplace, we continue to strengthen a culture that is innovative, respectful and inclusive. We consider Diversity and Inclusion to encompass, but not be limited to, ethnicity, gender, thinking styles, religion and belief, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, education, nationality, life and professional experiences.

 

Fostering diversity and inclusion through science education

Part of our challenge at NIBR, beyond creating next-generation medicines, is to educate and inspire the next generation of scientists – building the talent pool not only for Novartis, but leaders for the entire healthcare industry. Education programs are emblematic of our commitment to our associates and the communities in which they work and live.
