On March 18, 2026, the Senate of the RPTU appointed our PI Professor Zuzana Storchová as the new Chief Equal Opportunity Officer. Her three-year term runs until 2029. Juliane Märdian serves as her deputy. They both will support the Executive Board and the other governing bodies and committees at RPTU in their efforts to promote gender equality. Furthermore, they will be is involved in all social, organizational, and personnel measures that concern gender equality or the balance between studies or work and family life. We warmly congratulate Zuzana and her colleague and wish them every success in their future work.
