Diversity at a crossroads: What is happening to DEI in academia in 2025?

June 5, 2025 @ 09:30 - 16:30

We are excited to invite you to the inspiring and important online event jointly hosted by the Leibniz PhD Network, Max Planck PhD Network and Helmholtz Juniors—the official PhD networks of the Leibniz Association, Max Planck Society, and Helmholtz Association.

In today’s dynamic political and societal climate, it is essential to reflect on how we shape the future of academia—particularly for young researchers. This event is grounded in the belief that inclusive and diverse research environments lead to stronger science and a more equitable academic system.

Together, we will explore key topics including:

  • Foundations and misconceptions around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
  • Disability in research
  • Diversity in academic funding
  • The vital role of international researchers and the challenges they face
  • Challenges, strategies, and success stories in promoting DEI in academia
