Specific measures to promote gender equality

Thus, all applicant institutions of this proposed CRC, have set gender equality at all academic levels as an important strategic goal and have implemented targeted equal opportunity measures. All participating universities have established gender equality offices and staff that evaluate existing measures and give advisory support for the development of new projects in individual departments and within the framework of structured programs. Furthermore, monitoring systems are already established to evaluate the advancement of women at all levels of qualification and document appointment procedures.

Despite increasing awareness of gender inequality, women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are still underrepresented in academia across all disciplines and countries. Whereas the gender gap is very small at the graduate level, it is growing quickly with career progression and becomes overwhelming at the highest academic positions with less than one fourth of professorships being held by women.

Therefore, the mission of the Women in Science committee is to improve the prospects of women in academia and progressively move from awareness to transformation.

We offer help and support to dual career couples in the Rhineland.
In the course of their career, scientists often find that considerable demands are made on them in terms of flexibility and mobility. At the same time, the number of "Dual Career Couples", i.e. (university educated) couples both pursuing their individual careers, is steadily on the rise. One partner´s decision to relocate for professional reasons is increasingly dependent on whether attractive career opportunities also exist in the area for his or her spouse.

The universities and research institutions that make up the Dual Career Network Rhineland all have the same objective: to attract exceptional scientists to the Rhineland, not only to offer them outstanding working facilities, but also to enable them to achieve a realistic balance between the demands of work and partnership/family.


A winning team - you as a couple and we as a network
In order to achieve this, we provide targeted support both for your own professional development as a newly appointed or established scientist and for your partner in the form of a new career start in the Rhineland. Through our Dual Career Network Rhineland, we identify a range of opportunities matching your individual qualification profile.
