Gender equality and compatibility of work and private life

At the IfL, gender equality and the compatibility of family and career are regarded and promoted as an essential component and guiding principle of successful work. The IfL is a member of the Dual Career Network Central Germany, which is committed to the professional integration of both life partners in the region Leipzig / Halle (Saale). For this purpose, the cooperation partners examine applications from other network participants and, in case of corresponding vacancies of the life partner of a network member who is eligible due to his or her qualification, give the opportunity for a personal interview.
