Gender equality

Equality, a guiding principle of WIAS, is firmly anchored in the institute's mission and leadership model of leading in a family-conscious and gender-oriented manner. This includes the promotion and creation of equal opportunities across all units - science and science supporting - of the institute. Likewise, the institute recognizes the importance of having a gender equal and diverse organization and is currently focusing efforts on supporting women in mathematics.

This includes

  • improving the gender balance in all career stages,
  • establishing the Iris Runge Programme for female Masters students and early career female researchers to pursue a career in mathematics,
  • and promoting family-friendly working conditions at WIAS.
The WIAS management is supported by an elected or appointed equal opportunities respresentative and her deputy:
