Diversity is a chance: Equal Opportunities at FLI
Diversity makes research strong.
At FLI, we create a working environment in which everyone has the same opportunities to contribute their talents, develop, and follow their own path—regardless of their origin, gender, religion, identity, or lifestyle. Diversity is not a condition, but a value that we live by.
Equal opportunities at FLI – based on the Diversity Charter
We see diversity as an opportunity and combine it with a clear commitment to equal treatment and participation. All FLI employees are given fair opportunities for career development, further training, and personal growth – regardless of gender, cultural background, sexual orientation, identity, religion, age, or family situation.
This understanding shapes our daily interactions and is an integral part of our equality-oriented, family-friendly, and future-oriented research culture.
We promote equal opportunities in concrete terms through:
- Support programs for women in science, including Leibniz Mentoring
- Supporting international researchers in settling in Jena – including finding accommodation and dealing with formalities
- Exchange and networking formats to promote an open, respectful team culture
- Commitment to the Diversity Charter and fulfillment of the criteria of the Total E-Quality certificate
For us, diversity is not just a label, but a responsibility we live by – in research, in our team, and in a social context.
