Total E-Quality Award 2014
Outstanding commitment to equal opportunities at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology e.V.
The Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP Greifswald) has been awarded the TOTAL E-QUALITY label for the years 2014 to 2016 for its active promotion of equal opportunities within the institute. This label is awarded by TOTAL E-QUALITY Germany.
The jury's statement reads: "The Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology actively promotes gender equality and creates family-friendly, work- e working conditions in order to attract the best researchers in their field and retain them at the institute in the long term." It continues: "Increasing the proportion of women, especially at management level, poses a major challenge for the institute with its engineering and natural science profile and its specific location and competitive conditions." The INP Greifswald is committed to pursuing this goal in the future and will involve the existing good cooperation with the surrounding universities.
The award was developed with the support of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the European Union and is given for exemplary action in the field of human resources management geared towards equal opportunities.
TOTAL E-QUALITY Deutschland e.V. was founded in Frankfurt am Main in 1996 and was initially aimed at companies in the business sector. To date, around 250 organisations have been awarded the distinction. Since 2001, research institutions and universities have also been able to apply for the distinction.
