The survey investigates the retrospective and planned careers of researchers at the Berlin University Alliance (BUA) institutes (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Freie Universität, Technische Universität and Charité) by conducting a survey among doctoral students, mid-level faculty and professors. In addition to their careers and a focus on mental health and burnout, attitudes towards diversity, objectivity and meritocracy in science (ADOMiS) are recorded among researchers. Experiences of discrimination and attitudes of marginalized researchers themselves (e.g. internalized stigmatization, negative self-image) are considered as psychological mechanisms. The aim of this research project is to create an empirically robust basis for long-term institutional change toward inclusivity at universities.
