Equal opportunities
The Max Planck Society is dedicated to putting into action the Equal Opportunities commandment, which is described in the German Federal Law. To achieve a balanced employment of women and men, the MPS strives for a permanent implementation of the family-conscious personnel policy.
The concept of equal opportunities encompasses different aspects which we want to implement independently of each other:
- Compatibility of research and family
- Promoting(young) scientists
- Career development and mentoring
