In 2025, the gender pay gap among professors showed balanced income levels in some groups, while in the large group of professorships according to § 98 of the University Act (UG), the gender pay gap was around 10%. The highest gender pay gap was found among professorships according to § 99/1 UG. The proportion of women in the appointment process was consistently above 40% in 2025, with the proportion of women in appointments unusually high at 71%. At the same time, the proportion of female applicants also exceeded 40% for the first time, indicating that many professorships were awarded in the humanities and social sciences.
