The team
The "Equal Opportunities and Diversity" office combines the overlapping fields of anti-discrimination, diversity, gender equality, interculturality/ cultural reflexive and equal opportunities in academic careers. We advise and support the departments, our colleagues in the university administration, students and junior researchers on these topics and also offer our own courses and information formats.
The women@ event series supports female students from all departments at Fulda University of Applied Sciences in their personal and professional development. The aim is to expand personal competences and facilitate the entry into professional life. Every semester, various free and extra-curricular workshops are organised on changing topics.
Every year in the summer semester, the university takes part in the Diversity Day to raise awareness of various aspects of diversity and to get into conversation with each other. Whether accesibility, racism or social background - each year the focus is on a different topic.
Since 2022, the CUV office has been offering managers various exchange and further training formats to support and constructively address possible implementation hurdles.
The university has set itself the goal of supporting the successful handling of interculturality to a greater extent. To expand intercultural competences, we offer customised workshops for instructors, students and administrative staff to raise awareness and develop skills in dealing with cultural diversity.
With our workshops in the area of transferable skills, we would like to support you in developing your interdisciplinary competences. In addition, our courses on various cross-cutting topics aim to help you gain more self-determination and confidence in the qualification phases.
Would you like to find out more about the topic of anti-discrimination or have you experienced discrimination yourself? The university's Anti-Discrimination Office offers you advisory services and support. Together we will reflect on the incident, point out possible courses of action, help you decide on further steps and accompany you through the process.
Gender Consulting is a project within the framework of the Female Professors Programme 2030 to strengthen gender equality measures in the departments.
Fulda University of Applied Sciences recognises the diversity of young researchers as valuable potential and has set herself the task of supporting and accompanying them on their way. We offer personalised advisory services on all questions that you may encounter on your academic career path or that you may be particularly confronted with due to your personal background.
Dealing successfully with interculturality requires the consistent implementation of intercultural teaching and learning structures. It means taking into account diverse academic characteristics in the supervision of your students through a "culturally reflective" attitude and organising your teaching according to the heterogeneous academic requirements. We support you in this endeavour.
With an equivalent, differentiated and stereotype-free gender representation, you can help to counteract structural discrimination and its reproduction in everyday life and at the same time sensitise your fellow human beings to it. We support you in this endeavour.
The office of Representative for Women's Affairs and Gender Equality at Fulda University of Applied Sciences is held by two representatives and their deputies. The Representatives for Women's Affairs and Gender Equality are involved in appointment and recruitment procedures, advise the university's committees and facilities and initiate programs for equal opportunities and the advancement of women. The range of tasks also includes advisory services for students, employees, professors and applicants.
The Hesse-wide mentoring programme for women includes four lines of support for individual career planning, whether you are a student, a doctoral candidate or a prospective professors. In addition to networking opportunities with women from research and business, the program offers a wide range of workshops and training courses.
At Fulda University of Applied Sciences gender-differentiated data and statistics are systematically analysed at regular intervals and presented in a gender monitoring report. This can be used to track developments and to take a differentiated look at strengths and weaknesses in one's own area in order to derive and review objectives.
