The corporate group consisting of LUT University (LUT) and the LAB University of Applied Sciences (LAB) is called LUT Universities. The LUT university's gender equality plan is part of the equality plan. The starting point for LUT's equality promotion is the responsibility of every individual to promote equality in studies and work. The rector is responsible for non-discrimination issues related to teaching and research, and the human resource development manager for those related to the university as an employer. The heads of units are responsible for the realisation of equality in their own units. The human resources committee follows and evaluates the realisation of equality with the help of different statistics and reports.

The equality plan expands the notion of gender equality towards general equality within the academic community, regardless of age, nationality, ethnic background or sexual orientation.

The equality plan is operative and aims to foster equality in the activity of the organization. The plan gives everyone equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities for employment, career advancement, professional development, influencing, and taking part in decision-making and the development of research and education.
