Abstract

In the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Working Group on Equal Opportunities of the German Physical Society conducted a nonrepresentative, international online survey, investigating the impact of the pandemic and its consequences on daily life and work. Special attention was paid to the situation of female physicists in academia and industry. The responses provided evidence of both difficulties and opportunities arising from adapting to the rapid, significant changes. Discrepancies between different countries, jobs, and gender were found, particularly regarding concerns about professional work and private life conditions after the pandemic.
