Researchers with a migration background are clearly underrepresented in proportion to students with similar backgrounds. Subject-related inhibitions and structural hurdles make it difficult for this group of people to pursue an academic career – this applies in particular to women. To counteract these difficulties, the project “e n t e r s c i e n c e” aims to increase the proportion of students with a migrant background in the central scientific structure on a gender parity basis.
