The online survey with regard to gender equality measures was carried out successfully among all project members by the CRC228 gender board. About forty people from all different scientific status groups and both sexes took part in the survey. A general interest in gender measures (e.g. need for additional childcare support, demands and interest for further qualification for female researchers) was made clear in the survey. Further detailed results of the survey will be presented at the general meeting in Bonn on October 15th, 2018.
