The aspect of equal opportunities for women and men in the workplace is an important corporate objective of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft.
At Fraunhofer IGB, we successfully implement this important concern as early as the recruitment of young researchers, for example by participating in the Fraunhofer Talent School.
In the area of career development, we support female employees in applying for the "Fraunhofer TALENTA" program, which addresses different levels of career development in the three program lines start, speed up and excellence.
To help employees balance family and career, we offer flexible working hours to a large extent and a childcare office at our Stuttgart site. In 2019, Fraunhofer IGB was awarded the Fraunhofer FamilyLogo.
