MAXMINDS Project is supported by the MPG Diversity Excellence Fund. The MAXMINDS Online Mentoring Program, which was founded by almost a hundred MPG members from fifty Max Planck Institutes, received financial support from the MPG Diversity Excellence Fund until the end of 2024. This funding will be used to support the education of the students who were affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
MAXMINDS Project is supported by the MPG Diversity Excellence Fund. The Diversity Excellence Fund serves as a launchpad for new local diversity and inclusion initiatives at Max Planck Institutes, seeking to actively promote diversity, equality, and inclusion in alignment with the Max Planck Society’s diversity principles. What makes this project special is that it welcomes project proposals from all employees, regardless of their position or status. The primary criterion for selection is that these projects significantly contribute to increasing the representation of minority groups, generating research outcomes that are more attuned to diversity, and fostering a workplace culture where everyone feels welcome, valued, and secure. Moreover, projects that demonstrate an intersectional and multidimensional approach to diversity and are sustained by the MPIs after receiving initial funding are especially encouraged.
