Our Mission: Diversity & Equal Opportunities

Success through diversity

As a member of the Diversity Charter, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft has been campaigning for more diversity in the world of work since 2011.

At Fraunhofer IIS, we create a working environment in which all employees can develop individually. Regardless of their background or skills, everyone is welcome. We are actively committed to promoting diversity and breaking down barriers to ensure a respectful and supportive working environment.

We value different perspectives, cultures and experiences as they enrich our community at the institute. Our open mindset fosters a creative and innovative working environment that encourages the development of ground-breaking ideas. Together, we utilise everyone's potential to develop original solutions to the challenges facing our society.

Our values are the key to our long-term success - let's work together to push the boundaries of what is technically possible today!
