The DFG Gender Equality Monitoring report provides a detailed annual overview of women’s participation in the German research funding system. It covers the proportion of women submitting proposals to the DFG, the success rates of those proposals, and women’s representation on the DFG’s statutory bodies, tracking developments across multiple years. All DFG programmes and disciplines are analysed in depth.
Additional data from DFG surveys and the Federal Statistical Office allows for comparison with the broader research system, including the distribution of women across different career levels. A glossary in the appendix explains key terminology, programmes and statistical standards.
