Target agreements
The overarching instrument in place at FAU for increasing the proportion of women in academia are the target agreements concluded between the Executive Board and the faculties since 2005. These target agreements are based on the structural and personnel equality standards of the DFG, statistics from the faculties and departments and a cascade model.
The following measures have been implemented as internal target agreements:
- Measures aimed at girls in school (Girls’ Day, Girls and Technology internship, presentations at schools)
- Financial support for participation at conference
- ARIADNE Mentoring-Programs
- Faculty Women’s Prizes
- Guest presentations
- Headhunting of female professors
Detailed information about the target agreements with individual faculties from 2018 to 2022 is available here:
- Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology
