Equal opportunities: Dorothea Erxleben Program
The declared objective of the Cluster of Excellence PMI is to promote equal opportunities between women and men in research and in hospitals.
The Dorothea Erxleben Program for Gender Equality covers a large number of structural measures aimed at creating equal opportunities at all levels. These include, among others, bridging financing for highly qualified scientists between funding programs, start-up funds following parental leave and the PMI Research Assistant System for support during pregnancy or parental leave. Doctoral researchers, postdocs and leaders of young researcher groups can apply for funds to, for example, appoint a representative to lead the group temporarily or to fund technical assistance for necessary laboratory work.
