Why gender equality?

From the Equality Plan of the Faculty of Physics, valid from July 2nd 2021 to July 1st 2024

In order to increase the number of female professors, the faculty has set an equal opportunity quota of 25%. In order to achieve this goal, the number of professorships held by women is to be increased from 4 to 5. This goal is to be achieved primarily by filling one W3 professorship with a woman.

The requirements of the cascade model are to continue to be met:

  • The proportion of women among academic staff should at least correspond to the proportion of women among Master's graduates.
  • The proportion of women among doctoral graduates should be at least equal to the proportion of women among master's graduates.
  • The proportion of women among postdocs should be at least equal to the proportion of women among doctoral graduates.
  • The proportion of women among graduates should be at least equal to the real proportion of women among students.
  • The transition rate from bachelor to master should be at least as high for women as for men.

Measures to attract female students are to be continued and intensified in order to increase the proportion of women among students.
