Equal Opportunity and Anti-Discrimination

The University of Bremen has a high regard for the individual and cultural diversity of its students and employees, perceiving these features as the basis for forward-looking science and research and as an important pillar of a modern institution. The different units and initiatives described in this section form an active network, working together towards the realization of equal opportunity and elimination of discrimination. New projects are implemented in a process of mutual exchange, combining the experience of different perspectives.

Diverse awards and exemplary statistics underscore the success of these combined efforts: The relatively high proportion of women professors at 25%, for instance, and the very good evaluation of our gender equality concept within the frame of the female professor program initiated by the Federal Ministry of education and Research. The German Research Society (DFG) also has only praise for the University of Bremen’s purposeful orientation to research-oriented standards of equal opportunity.
