Diversity management, gender equality and internationalization have become guiding principles for almost all scientific institutions, especially in Berlin. However, it remains true that the further up the career ladder you go, the more uniform the people who reach these positions tend to be.
At the same time, many scientists have problems establishing themselves in Germany and face problems with the language, bureaucracy and other personal challenges. We are taking stock: What is the current state of diversity in German academia? What problems do international researchers face in Germany? How can Berlin in particular tackle these challenges here and actively promote diversity?
