Diversity as a fact, inclusion as an act.
Diversity is important to us - it is an integral part of our university's profile and is therefore also present on campus every day. We see diversity as an opportunity. We can benefit together from an open and constructive approach to diversity, individuality and plurality. Inclusion is a joint task for us as a university. We can all make a contribution to this. But there is also support - from the Diversity Advisory Board and the Diversity Officer.
The Advisory Board advises the Executive Board on fundamental issues of diversity. This includes, in particular, framework conditions, objectives and possibilities for a constructive approach to diversity, including measures to protect against discrimination. The Advisory Board supports the development of the University's diversity strategy and also accompanies the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at the University of Erfurt. The Advisory Board shall meet twice per semester on a rotational basis. Members are:
The consultation of further advisory experts is possible.
The Diversity Officer looks after the interests of all members, family members, doctoral candidates and applicants to the university, in particular the interests of students with a disability, a mental illness or a chronic illness. In consultation with the Equal Opportunities Officer, the Representative for Severely Disabled Students and the Inclusion Officer, he/she is involved in the planning and organisation of teaching, study and working conditions for members of the university, advises them and works towards the elimination of existing disadvantages and barriers. He/she has the right to participate, apply and speak in all committees of the university's self-administration and works in close connection with the University of Erfurt's Diversity Advisory Board.
The Diversity Officer of the University of Erfurt is Niklas Radenbach. The Senate elected him in May 2021 on the proposal of the President for a term of office of three years.
