Audit »Vielfalt gestalten«

Promoting diversity, fighting discrimination, making equal opportunities a reality

This is the motto of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar for the diversity audit »Vielfalt gestalten«.

Together with seven other universities from Thuringia, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is taking part in the two-year audit conducted by the Deutscher Stifterverband. The audit supports universities in developing and implementing a diversity strategy aimed at anchoring the topic of diversity more firmly in their institutional structures.
