The objectives of creating a European higher education and research area as well as a knowledgebased economy area cause a shift in the paradigms of science policy and labour market, which are now oriented in favour of a »knowledge society«. This induces (also in Austria) changes of career patterns of women at universities. Up until now, informal arrangements in the sciences were being regarded as the leading obstacle. But now, measurement and comparability and therefore the
formalization of scientific performance gain in importance. These measurements of quality assurance in the sciences supposedly should improve career conditions of women at universities, which are being discussed in the article regarding the chances of women of becoming professors. At the same time, the university as an employer and as a workplace also is changing. But working conditions are not part of those formal criterions that are applied to assess scientific performance. So there is a risk that informal arrangements are translated into quality standards. In order to prevent such a »formalized informality« and to secure positive effects of formalization for women, a gender-relevant quality management, especially when appointing professors, must be implemented.
