Equal Opportunity at MBI

Equal opportunities for women and men and the compatibility of family and professional work is an important concern at MBI. In order to warrant equal opportunities and to avoid any gender based discrimination the Max Born Institute as a member of the Leibniz Gemeinschaft is committed to strictly follow the Research-Oriented Equity and Diversity Standards of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG.

MBI has elected and appointed an equal opportunities officer and a deputy who are involved in all personnel, organisational and social activities of the MBI concerning gender equality.

An excerpt of the current version of the Gender Equality Plan in German can be found here. The full Gender Equality Plan is available in the intranet.
