Gold for the mpilhlt Gender Equality Plan 2024–2026

The mpilhlt has been awarded gold for its gender equality plan for the second time running. The evaluation committee, consisting of gender equality officers from the Max Planck Society and other research organisations, particularly praised the Institute’s regular, comprehensive data collection to monitor the gender equality situation, the gender parity among researchers, and the progress made towards closing the gender pay gap among research-supporting staff. Areas in which women currently remain underrepresented are our visitors’ programme and publications.
