Gender equality and diversity at the University of Hohenheim

“Excellent science needs diversity and genuine equal opportunities. My goal is to create a framework at the university in which all people can develop their potential, regardless of gender and life plans.”

Prof. Dr. Verena Hüttl-Maack
Gender Equality Representative

Gender equality and diversity are central components of a modern university culture. They help to make different perspectives visible and promote talent regardless of origin, gender, or life situation.

The University of Hohenheim is committed to creating fair conditions for studying, research, and work. These include measures to promote women in science, to reconcile family and work, as well as initiatives to raise awareness of diversity and anti-discrimination.

The Gender Equality and Diversity Office is the central point of contact for these topics. The Office advises, informs, and supports members of the university and develops provision that sustainably strengthens equal opportunities and diversity.
