Compatibility

Gender Equality

The University of Göttingen pursues a comprehensive equal opportunities policy: it combines target-group-specific support measures (individual support, especially within the framework of the Dorothea Schlözer Programme) with gender-oriented development of the University’s structures and culture. Gender equality as a cross-sectional task is integrated into all structures and processes of university fields of action.

Diversity

The University of Göttingen pursues a comprehensive diversity policy: Diversity orientation is deeply rooted as a cross-cutting task in developing the unique profile and strategy of the university. The aim is to create an organisational structure and culture that is geared to diversity and that offers all members and employees of the University equal opportunities and protection against discrimination, regardless of their origin and life situation.

The offerings of the Institutional Health Management can be divided into the following four groups:

  • Individual: Individual health promotion
