Equal Opportunity in FOR 5522
The members of FOR 5522 are committed to creating and fostering a diverse and inclusive environment for the participation of its members and guests. We comprehend equal opportunity broadly, encompassing gender diversity, family support, and the diverse cultural backgrounds of our international group and research field.
Some of our key measures include:- Equal opportunity awareness sessions at our main events with external experts
- Support for female and other underrepresented groups of researchers (e.g., networking, mentoring)
- Support for longer scientific visits of female researchers
- Childcare support for researchers with small children at our scientific events
- Joint events with other initiatives
