Since the early 1990s, the German federal and state governments have been systematically and steadily pursuing the subject of equal opportunities in academics and research. This persistent national movement has not only improved the understanding of the differing situations of women and men in academia, but the considerably increased proportion of women at all levels of academic qualification is evidence of a slow but steady attempt to achieve truly equal opportunity in academics and research.
