The following measures were implemented in the years 2018 and 2019:

branding;
• A work environment survey was done, follow-up measures identified and implemented in the Centers;
• A Gender Equality Office was set up in addition to the GenderTaskforce;
• The scientific careers of female employees were promoted, including by increasing the visibility of their 
expertise (interviews, podium discussions);
• The third gender is now considered in addition to gender-sensitive structuring of job postings.
