Equity & Diversity

Equity and Diversity

Das Bild zeigt eine abstrakte Malerei von bunten menschlichen Umrissen.

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences promotes diversity, a variety of perspectives, and equal opportunities. We strive to create a framework that allows people of all social backgrounds and circumstances access to the Faculty.

We foster an organizational culture that appreciates individual, social, and cultural diversity and does not judge people according to preconceived stereotypes. For us, a competent approach to diversity is an enrichment and a sign of quality. We create awareness for (un)equal opportunities, particularly in the areas gender equality, family friendliness, inclusion, educational justice and anti-discrimination.

All members of the Faculty are responsible for fostering and upholding this mission.
