Gender & Diversity Consulting: Equal opportunities in Research Networks Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG)

DFG-funded research associations (CRC, RU), graduate schools and programmes (RTG) as well as excellence clusters at the University of Cologne receive a standard allowance for equity and diversity from the German Research Foundation (DFG). This can be used for promoting gender equality in research, promoting diversity in science and the humanities or making jobs in science and academia more family-friendly (including care).

Central and the association's own equal opportunities measures

We will assist you during the application process, the appraisal process and throughout the duration of your research. We will also be glad to provide you with a personal consultation. Please contact us at your earliest convenience.
