In contemporary research, the core dimensions of diversity play an important role in almost all disciplines: for example, when it comes to sociocultural notions of gender and sexuality in the humanities and social sciences, the consideration of physical conditions of users in technology development or the individual needs of different age groups in medical early detection and care.

In order to make the variety of themes related to gender and diversity visible at Thuringian universities and to promote prospective researchers and scientists, the Thüringer Kompetenznetzwerk Gleichstellung (TKG) is awarding the Diversity Meets Science prize for theses with gender and diversity perspectives, which is endowed with 2.000 Euro for the seventh time.

Applications are accepted from graduates of all disciplines at Thuringian universities whose final thesis (bachelor, master, diploma, state examination or doctoral thesis) takes a gender/diversity perspective and has been submitted within the past two years (since August 2022). The application deadline is 15 December 2024.
