Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Science

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)

At Forschungszentrum Jülich, we understand scientific excellence not only as the result of individual achievements, but as the product of diverse perspectives, equitable participation, and inclusive structures. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are not add-ons for us, but central elements that drive scientific progress.

We promote diversity from the very start of a scientific career: whether international researchers, different educational backgrounds, or diverse life realities – we are committed to equal opportunities for all. After all, it is only through a variety of perspectives that innovative research and societally relevant solutions can emerge.

DIVERSITY

EQUITY

INCLUSION

Different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences enrich scientific work.

All researchers are provided with fair conditions to realize their potential.

We foster a work environment where everyone is heard and included – regardless of gender, origin, age, disability, or social status.
