Gender and Diversity Day
Dialogue and Exchange Forum at the Faculty of Natural Sciences
For young researchers, students, lecturers and employees in technical and administrative areas, the Gender and Diversity Day offers a space to reflect on and discuss one's own career - in the context of the social framework conditions, increasing internationalisation and the current conditions at the Faculty/LUH. The aim is to open up future fields of action and new perspectives.
The Gender and Diversity Day is intended to promote a change of culture within the Faculty of Science in order to initiate change processes and to raise awareness wherever necessary so that gender equality and cultural diversity are convincingly implemented and lived out at the Faculty.
What is a gender and diversity day good for?
- Opening up spaces for dialogue and reflection for different target groups on changing and current topics
- Participants will experience individual diversities and commonalities in topic-related exchange
- Establishing networks and contacts for mutual support
- Strengthening solidarity with each other
- Developing fields of action at the personal and institutional level
- Providing impulses for target group-oriented gender equality work and promoting diversity and equal opportunities in the Faculty of Natural Sciences
New impetus for gender justice and diversity
Change needs participation. The Gender and Diversity Day is a platform for dialogue and exchange at the Faculty of Natural Sciences that is open to all interested parties. At regular intervals, we invite people to discuss current issues in gender and diversity research.
