More women in top ranks in 2023 https://www.mpg.de/21664905/women-in-science?c=11969047
The Max Planck Society’s Voluntary Commitment (SVP) aims to achieve two primary objectives: increasing the representation of female scientists in leadership positions by one percentage point annually until 2030 and ensuring that each Max Planck Institute has at least one female director. A review of the 2023 data indicates progress towards these goals: the MPG successfully elevated the proportion of female scientists in newly appointed leadership roles (W3/female directors and W2/independent research group leaders). With appointment rates reaching 54.5% and 66% respectively, these figures notably surpass the MPG’s target benchmarks.
