## Active search for suitable candidates

In order to simplify the procedure regarding the possibility of avoiding repetition of an advertisement, the AKG has established the following procedure: "[AKG directives to avoid repetition of an advertisement](https://www.tuwien.at/fileadmin/Assets/tu-wien/TU_fuer_alle/AKG/RL-Entfall_2_Ausschreibung_2021_11_15.pdf)" (German only)

The advertising body/agency must demonstrate that it has made every effort to actively seek suitable female candidates. However, if no suitable female candidates have responded to the advertised post, a repeat advertisement can be placed in accordance with Article 29 of the [FFP](https://www.tuwien.at/en/tu-wien/a-university-for-all/committee-on-equal-treatment/career-advancement-plan-for-women), subject to the following conditions: Evidence must be provided that the advertising body/agency has actively sought female candidates in accordance with Article 29 Para 2 of the FFP, based on the following list of minimum criteria.

The AKG's form regarding avoiding repetition of an advertisement must also be used for all admission procedures: [Form to avoid repetition of an advertisement for professorships](https://www.tuwien.at/fileadmin/Assets/tu-wien/TU_fuer_alle/AKG/Formblaetter_2021/Formbl_AKG_Professuren_2021.pdf) (German olny)
