Profile and team

In the Equal Opportunity Office, Equal Opportunity Officers and Advisor work in collaboration with the Equal Opportunity Advisory Board to establish equal opportunities for women and men at the university as guaranteed under constitutional law. They develop proposals for guidelines and programmes to increase the proportion of female academics and artists at the university, and participate in the updating and implementation of these guidelines. They ensure that all persons at the university are guaranteed equal development opportunities according to their qualification and under consideration of their particular social circumstances.

The Advisory Board for equal opportunity issues has been established to support the Equal Opportunity Officers. Members of this Advisory Board include representatives from faculties and central university facilities as well as two student representatives. On the recommendation of the Equal Opportunity Advisory Board, the Senate elects the Equal Opportunity Officers and their deputies from amongst the full-time professors and academic staff for a term of three years.
