Gender Equality And Recruitment In Academia

/femconsult is offered by CEWS. The /femconsult database contains current qualification profiles of more than 3,000 women researchers and non-binary researchers with doctorates and postdoctoral qualifications. They come from all disciplines and work at universities and non-university research institutions, in industry, and in business. With /femconsult, CEWS offers universities, research institutions, and ministries an effective tool for recruiting women researchers and non-binary researchers for leadership positions and advisory and decision-making bodies. Users of /femconsult benefit from increased visibility of their individual scientific profiles through their entry in the database.

We base our selection of subject areas on the subject classification system of destatis. A best practice example for a subject-specific entry can be found in the flyer of the German Society for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine.

The entry of a scientific profile in the database is reserved exclusively for women researchers and non-binary researchers. The use of the database by universities and research institutions is only permitted for the purpose of providing information about job vacancies, committee activities, expert opinions, etc. Any other or improper use, in particular commercial, automated, or unauthorized access, disclosure, or processing of the data is expressly prohibited.

Please note that the English homepage cannot be used to the same extent as the German one. The search function and the information on gender equality in human resources management and career promotion in academia are only available in German. However, you can register at /femconsult with the support of an English manual (1.22 MB).
