69 men and women or 3% among

all DESY-people are in parent leave

55% of them are men

But 2% of all DESY-men

and 4% of all DESY women

Still more men (scientists, engineers and technicians)

Most of them take less than 1 year

Part of them work at the same time

They often change their working

time (more or less hours weekly)


Work & Family

> Help for parents

2 special positions (m/w) for work reintegration after parent leave (filled at the

moment)

for mothers or fathers with good experience in a scientific or technical field

2 years contract paid out of a special budget -> attractive for the group

Family service offers help for all DESY people (with or without children).

Free for all.

„How long does it takes till I become a director?“

Mathematics, Computing, Science, Technology MINT

MINT =

Motivate young girls early

for technical and scientific

fields


MINT: our big actions

> DESY open day

Wonderful „Role

models“…

I need more of them

The next one is on Nov., 11th


MINT: what are girls motivated through……

> Role models tell about their motivation….. The girls ask them….

How does a working day in

a world with so many men

looks like?

What do I need to become

an electrical engineer…?

Should I be very good in

mathematics..?

Have a look:





Helmholtz programs for promotion of women

Career (1)

The labs must always give a financial support and keep corresponding positions free

Postdoc-Program (w, m) directly after PhD

Mentoring „Taking the lead“ (w) for leadership

2013: 2 participants; 2014: 3 scientist

Helmholtz Management Akademie for leading position (w, m)- for poeple in

science or administration - 3 women und 1 man this year

Program for young investigators groups (w, m): 50% women since begining

Helmholtz Professorships W2 W3 (w, m)- hiring scientists from abroad.

Especially women

http://www.helmholtz.de/en/working_at_helmholtz/equal_opportunity/




Career (2)

Developement of Dual Career solutions (for leading positions)

Standards for equal opportunity of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft

(DFG)

include a full catalog with structural and personal measures; used by nearly all universities and

also by Helmholtz

is a well accepted guide for possible measures of promotion of equal opportunity

All universities have to use these standards and to report to the DFG

Consider women for awards

BMBF

W2-W3 Professorships (w)

Structural changes DESY more attractive for family life, for the

people

The will of PROMOTING women DESY concept

Family & work in the DESY guidelines

This issue on the DESY web page under „Infos & Services“ (now still

under „career“)

job announcements are in the female form formulated (not available for

English!!)

Always great consideration of women applications in the scientific and

technical fields

More transparency:

In the recruting commissions: equal opportunity represented by a

woman with good competence in the field concerned

Introduction of a mentoring program on the Campus with

UHH; PIER; CUI; SFB 676, SFB 925 and DESY


Quote for women in leading positions

> What can be achieved in the next years?

New definition of the different ranks of leading positions. 4 ranks

Entry of the concerned persons / leading positions in SAP

Development of a quote system on request of Ministry of research and

Helmholtz: GWK* Model (2013)

The 4 ranks of leading positions

Base of this model is

the evolution of percentage of women in the 2 last years

Quote @ DESY: not only leading positions in the

scientific fields

DESY develops a quote system for DESY all: technical and administrative fields,

considering W3/C4/B5 to E12

Only small differences between actual situation in the groups W3 – E12 and the quote-

numbers of the GWK model

The quote-numbers of the GWK model should be the same for DESY all
