Diversity in CRC 1333

At CRC 1333, we are committed to providing equal opportunities to excellent researchers of
all genders and backgrounds. We place particular emphasis on supportiing the compatibility of family life and an academic career.

Our primary goal is to foster a culture of scientific curiosity and collaboration that includes and supports all researchers, regardless of their individual circumstances. Through a broad range of measures, we especially encourage early-career female scientists to take on leadership roles as group leaders and professors, thereby contributing to a stronger representation of women in scientific leadership.

“Pooling – Synergies for Equal Opportunities in Research Networks”

The CRC 1333 is part of the “Pooling” at the University of Stuttgart. Within this alliance, the DFG-funded research consortia of the University of Stuttgart jointly promote equal opportunities in science and leverage synergies through collaborative, cross-network measures. The portfolio of measures includes a wide range of support for early-career female researchers in areas such as coaching, peer networking, and career and skills development. In addition, there are initiatives for all project members aimed at strengthening competencies in gender and diversity in science, as well as measures to improve the compatibility of research careers and family life.

Mentoring and networking are invaluable tools for promoting junior talent. Therefore, the CRC 1333 promotes the mentoring programs of the University of Stuttgart (GRADUS) and offers ZIA fellowships for its female scientists in cooperation with the Pooling initiative.

Gender & Diversity Board of the CRC 1333

Diversity is also embedded in our governing structure: Prof. Dr. Bettina Lotsch and Prof. Dr. Johannes Kästner serve as the Diversity Board, overseeing all measures and programs related to equal opportunities, family-friendly policies and diversity.
