Underrepresented Gender at the Project Management Level in Individual Research Areas

For information on gender inclusion funding for spokespersons, please refer to the information in DFG form DFG form 52.12 (Module Coordination).(interner Link)

Only spokespersons/coordinators whose gender is underrepresented at the management level in their specific fields can apply for gender inclusion funding. The term “field” here refers to the individual DFG research areas. 

At present, female professors are underrepresented in all research areas, so female spokespersons of research networks in all research areas can apply for the budget, cf. last column of the table below (in German only). 

The table is taken from the DFG’s 2025 Gender Equality Monitoring Report(interner Link) (page 6 Tab. 1).  The graphic is also available to you as a PDF document(Download) and in
