SFB 1294 – Data Assimilation
SFB 1294 is coordinated by the University of Potsdam together with its partner institutions Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU Berlin), Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin), Weierstrass Institute Berlin (WIAS), the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), an the Technische Universität Ilmenau (TU Ilmenau).
Here you find information on the organisation structure and the scientists involved. Furthermore, we present our measures to promote open science as well as diversity and equality.

Expertise
Equal Opportunity
We provide opportunities and special training for our members and young researchers to support them in their personal career development.
Our specific measures towards equal opportunity
- Structures and funding for career development: A range of transferable skill training courses are offered including proposal writing, presenting in general and at conferences, science communication and many more. We collaborate closely with the Potsdam Graduate School (link https://www.pogs.uni-potsdam.de/), which offers training for doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers. We offer courses for all gender, however a number of them are especially designed for female researchers and focus e.g. on their personal career paths and goals by offering professional techniques to overcome female specific obstacles.
- Coaching: the SFB funds coaching sessions specifically designed for the needs of the members of the SFB and specifically offers coaching to empower female scientists.
- MentoringPlus: Individual mentoring for female researchers is provided by our partners from the PoGS (verlinken: uni-potsdam.de/de/pogs/career-development/mentoring-plus.html) and supported by the SFB 1294. The program included three main pillars, which are 1) the mentor-mentee relationship, 2) training in the form of workshops and 3) networking and networking opportunities.
- Providing role models: The SFB 1294 strives to invite accomplished female scientists as guest speakers to colloquia and seminars. We will furthermore provide an opportunity for our female PhD students and junior scientists to have additional informal discussions with these female role models.
Gender and Diversity Board
We aim to maintain and further improve our gender balance while ensuring an optimal allocation qualified candidates to their preferred projects. One of the tasks of the Gender Equality and Diversity Board is to oversee recruitment and ensure a diverse cohort of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.

Our Gender and Diversity Board is supported by our Gender and Diversity Consultant Stella Krüger in the CRC Coordination Office.
Family support
We aim at providing a family friendly working environment, especially for families with young children and offer the following support measures.
- Childcare is offered and advertised for every SFB 1294 Colloquium, Spring School, Retreat etc. and after-office-hour event. We can organize ‘childcare-at-home’ and ‘childcare-at-work’.
- If you need to bring your children to work on short notice, we packed special bags with toys, books and games to keep your children entertained and happy, while you can work.
- We support flexible working hours and working from home, e.g. if your child is ill, and provide laptops for these occasions.
- We actively support members of our SFB’s before, during and after parental leave, e.g. in form of childcare, student assistants (where appropriate and possible), advisory structures to support work-life balance
Open Science
We are committed to Open Science. In addition to preprints and publications we also provide PDF’S of presentations from guests in our Colloquia and Seminars, videos of talks and a whole range of other outreach activities.
