    Since the Equality Commissioners have the right to participate in all social, organizational and personnel measures that affect the equality of women and men, the compatibility of studying or having a career and family, or the protection of university members and relatives against harassment and sexual harassment at the workplace or place of study, they must be informed of all measures both promptly and comprehensively. They must also be invited to the meetings of the relevant bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Equality Commissioners are bound to secrecy and data protection in all matters that require confidential treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Faculty 09 has come up with implemented several measures to counteract existing deficits in gender equality as thoroughly as possible. This goes for all qualification and career levels: female school children, students, doctoral candidates, post-doctoral candidates, and professors are addressed as specific target groups. This broad approach is intended to increase the proportion of female students in those subjects where less than 50 percent of the students are female. It is also intended to limit the “leaky pipeline” phenomenon in Faculty 09 as a whole. A detailed description of all measures can be found in the faculty’s decentralized equality plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The Faculty of Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Geography and Geosciences takes part annually in Girls’ Day as well as supports the Ada Lovelace Project in order to inspire many more highly motivated and committed female students to study STEM subjects at Faculty 09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Ada Lovelace Project is aimed not just at interested schoolgirls; it also offers a mentoring program and various training services to first-year students and female students of science subjects. The project also enables advanced female students to work as mentors themselves expand the network even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-heading>\n\n\n\n

    Ada Lovelace Talent Development offers two mentoring programs. Both programs are aimed at female scientists in the STEM field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the Career Orientation<\/strong> program, women who are doing their doctorate or are in the process of doing so can reflect on and align their professional direction. The decision between academia and non-academia may still be open at the beginning of this program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the Pro Academia<\/strong> program, women working in the advanced postdoctoral phase or as Junior Principal Investigators (PI)<\/em> (tenure track, junior professorship, first appointees) can reflect on and strengthen their next steps on the path in their careers in science. In both programs, the women select their mentors themselves based on intensive group coaching sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In both programs, the women are supported with workshops and networking opportunities for their future careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Dean’s Office provides an annual fund for equality purposes from its own resources for this reason. The fund serves as a default guarantee and is administered by the faculty\u2019s respective central Equality Commissioner. The fund is available for individual support measures upon application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    JGU’s gender equality work will focus on reducing structural factors that stand in the way of equal participation of the sexes until actual gender equality is achieved at every level. Furthermore, measures that promote the participation of women are important components of university and personnel development.
    In addition to gender equality, JGU’s diversity strategy has the overarching goal of enabling all members of JGU to participate in university processes and develop their individual potential to the best of their ability. The focus here is on the holistic development of a university culture that is sensitive to diversity.
    Therefore, the primary task of the Equality and Diversity Office is to advise the university and its members as well as to develop and implement suitable measures to promote the goal of equal opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
