Gender Consulting for research proposals and projects
Equal Opportunities in DFG Coordinated Programs and Third Party Funded Programs
The promotion of equality between men and women in the research system is a key objective of the DFG and must be given appropriate consideration in all funding procedures (Research Training Group, Collaborative Research Centre, Priority Programme and Research Unit, Cluster of Excellence). Gender equality and the consideration of gender aspects in research is also a priority in EU research policy. Therefore, the Gender Consulting service offers comprehensive support to applicants and funding recipients of RWTH Aachen University in the areas of application and evaluation of the research projects, during the duration of the programs as well as for follow-up applications.
