Equal opportunities
The Max Planck Society (MPS) is dedicated to putting into action the principle of equal treatment, that is laid out in the German Constitution (Grundgesetz). To achieve a balanced employment of women and men, the MPS strives for effective implementation of a family-conscious personnel policy.
The concept of equal opportunities encompasses several aspects:
- Preventing conflicts between research and family responsibilities
- Supporting (young) researchers
- Career development and mentoring
