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
