MPQueer

MPQueer, the queer network of the Max Planck Society, aims to accelerate the development of a supportive and inclusive queer community within the MPG. By fostering a welcoming environment, we strive to create spaces where queer individuals feel valued and respected throughout the institution. The network seeks to standardize the sharing of information, resources, and opportunities related to queer identities through our mailing list, ensuring that all members have access to the support and connections they need.

As an independent entity, MPQueer extends its reach to queer members across all roles within the MPG, from scientific and non-scientific positions. We empower the queer community by supporting projects initiated by our members and collaborating with human resources at various levels to improve working environments and conflict resolution channels.

MPQueer uses the term ‘queer’ as an inclusive umbrella term, encompassing individuals who are not heterosexual and/or not cisgender. This includes, but is not limited to, those who identify as LGBTI+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex) and other identities such as asexual, demisexual, non-binary, gender fluid, pansexual, polyamorous, and questioning. The goal is to create a safe and supportive space for all queer individuals within the MPG.
