The under-representation of women in academic leadership positions remains an urgent problem. Science organisations should therefore pursue the goal of attracting and retaining the best talent regardless of their gender – as well as their national origin, age, etc. – not only because of increased competition, but precisely because of their influential role in society. Another incentive is the observation that diverse teams \u2013 when taking into account individual needs and living conditions \u2013 verifiably achieve better research results and obtain multi-perspective views of their subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In our lecture impulse, we first introduced the current framework and principles of equal opportunities measures in the academic context and then outline the background and possible influencing factors – unconscious bias, personnel selection processes, performance based evaluation and hereby possible moments of discrimination. We embedded these organisational measures in the larger context of current guidelines and mission statements of different funding programmes – such as the expansion of equal opportunities to include dimensions of diversity. Asking “How can we do better?”, we wanted to point out some approaches for the successful implementation of gender equality and diversity measures and then offer space for discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
