The Equalisation Fund is aimed at female professors, junior professors and scientific or artistic/creative employees at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar who are involved in the university’s committees or faculty management. 

Applicants can apply for financial support for compensatory or career-promoting measures for their work in certain committees. They can decide for themselves on the exact use of the funds in terms of compensation or relief.

As a measure to promote gender equality, the Equalisation Fund is financed by the Professorinnenprogramm III (funding programme for female professors) of the German federal government and federal states for the period of 2022 to 2024. The Equalisation Fund should serve to lessen the workload of women who are junior professors, professors or scientific or artistic/creative employees who are involved in committees at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. The fund is also intended to provide additional incentives for women to become more involved in committees with the long-term goal of achieving gender equality across the staffing of all university committees, for example in university and faculty management.

You can find the Call for Applications for the »Equalisation Fund 2024« and more information on how to apply on the Equal Opportunity Office's website »Funds and Scholarships«.

Application deadline for 2024 is February 29.
