The equal opportunity committee (EOC) consists of five representatives and is headed by one of them. Three PIs from the different sites function as gender equality representatives, taking care of gender equality issues among researchers of the TRR. They are complemented by one representative each of the doctoral and postdoctoral researchers. The committee monitors issues and measures with respect to gender balance, equal opportunities and diversity, initiate awareness trainings and actions for unbiased selection, inclusion and promotion procedures and the implementation of gender- and diversity-sensitive research questions. This board provides feedback on these issues for all future research applications. It will also inform the steering committee on needs and problems identified, as well as necessary measures and actions to overcome relevant obstacles. They also act as contact persons for gender-related issue or conflicts.
