Achieving provision of equal opportunities and diversity at all academic levels is a strong goal of all the partner institutes, and significant advances have been made, e.g. in terms of an increase in female professors in all disciplines. Equal opportunities for women and men are an integral part of our personnel policy. Therefore, we encourage women to apply. MarDATA will use institutional measures for gender-sensitive recruitment of female researchers that are already in place.
