Gender equality concept
In order to further promote equality at the Department of Physics, an equality concept was adopted by the Department Council on 16 December 2022. This is updated every two years. The department is actively working on implementing important steps towards gender equality, in particular the promotion of women and LGBTIQ* people in the department. The compatibility of career and family should also continue to be made easier. The main starting points of the gender equality concept are
- In particular, visualising female role models in various academic status groups, from female students, doctoral candidates and postdocs* to female professors and professional physicists.
- To sensitise people in teaching and research with regard to gender equality within the department
- Expand the infrastructure at the department to facilitate study and working conditions for women and LGBTIQ* at the Department of Physics at TU Darmstadt
