  • DESY participates in the Helmholtz Mentoring programs for equal opportunities.

 

The Helmholtz Association uses innovative approaches targeted at all age groups to encourage both men and women to pursue careers in science and to help foster a positive image of women and men taking active roles in the scientific and academic community.

One of the key elements in achieving this aim is promoting women to executive-level positions

Both programs "Taking the Lead" and the "management Akademy" adress different target groups and are integral part of this strategy.
