This priority programme will achieve excellence through diversity. The proposal outlined several concrete measures that we sketch in this post. Details will be worked out in the coming months, please contact us at for support.

The programme is planned to interconnect decentralized equal opportunity offices, and to join the Gender Consulting Office at Ruhr-University for DFG-funded research networks. These offices will, for example, offer centrally organized implicit bias training. The network will also disseminate best practices for family friendliness. The Gender Consulting Office is also planned to evaluate the applied measures throughout the program.

The programme will run a mentoring program for female scientists based on the successful mentoring program within SPP 2026 Geometry at Infinity.

Before the start of the second funding period, a "Diversity Symposium" in Mathematics will take place, which will reflect on the effectiveness of the various measures and develop recommendations.
