The Equal Opportunity Officers act as a point of contact for women, men, and diverse people at Helmholtz Munich and are committed to promoting equal opportunities in science, research, and administration.
In close cooperation with management and the Works Council as well as the Human Resources, Personnel Development, Communications & Strategic Relations, International Staff Service and Occupational health management, we develop equality measures and support their implementation.
These include in particular measures to increase the proportion of women in areas where women are underrepresented, e.g. in management positions. In addition, measures are being taken to improve the compatibility of family and career and to increase the motivation and competence of managers with regard to equal opportunities.
The Equal Opportunities Officers are members of various internal and external committees and of the Helmholtz working group "Women in Research Centers".
