Ocean Gender

Aim of the project

The project described here is intended to promote the establishment of processes and methods for the creation of gender parity in the professional groups of underwater technology, both in the area of training professions and in the academic, engineering-scientific area. For this purpose, a diversity coordinator will be hired and her competencies will be built up in order to present the occupational profiles for girls and women attractively on the one hand and to remove gender-specific access barriers on the other hand within the cluster network and beyond with targeted measures.

Contribution to the implementation of the cluster's strategy

The strategy of the cluster includes above all the establishment of sustainable structures and processes in the interaction of all participants in order to develop the location in an innovative and future-oriented way in the sense of the innovation field Ocean Open Innovation. This can only succeed if equal opportunities and support for disadvantaged groups are guaranteed from the outset.
