Programmes with gender equality as a funding criterion
As a measure to strengthen the representation of women among the leadership of CD Laboratories, the 
staff costs for a female laboratory head can be funded as project costs in special cases (if non-hiring is 
the sole reason speaking against a positive funding decision). During the term of the CD Laboratory, the 
university/research institution must establish a way for this hiring and funding to take place. 
Beginning in 2020, a number of initiatives are being introduced (see below under “New initiatives and 
instruments 2019 and outlook”).
