The University of Rostock considers the fields of internationalization, gender equality, family friendliness, accessibility and lifelong learning as a unit and links them to an integrated diversity management. Therefore, the Equal Opportunities and Diversity Commission was established at the end of 2013. It emerged from the Equal Opportunity Commission, which the Rectorate had appointed in June 2011 in coordination with the Academic Senate.
The Commission for Equal Opportunities and Diversity is committed to equal opportunity in the sense of an open "university for all". Its goals are:

  • Improvement of equal opportunities and the creation of appropriate framework conditions
  • Integration of equal opportunities and diversity in research, teaching and administration
  • Promotion of internationalization at the University of Rostock
  • Prevention of discrimination

The Equal Opportunities and Diversity Commission acts as an advisory body to the university on gender, equal opportunities and diversity issues. It contributes to the strategy development as well as the conception, evaluation and review of equal opportunities and equality promotion measures and controls their implementation, i. a .:

  • Gender equality measures: female professors program of the federal and state governments, research-oriented gender equality standards of the DFG and women's advancement plans of the faculties
  • Target agreements within the family-friendly university
  • Implementation of internationalization measures
  • in the area of accessibility

In addition, it grants university-sponsored grants from the female professor program II of the federal and state governments and acts as a selection committee in the program KarriereWegeMentoring.

Composition

The Equal Opportunities and Diversity Commission is composed of one representative each from the professorship, the scientific center, the human resources administration and the student body, as well as representatives of interests and experts for the individual fields of equal opportunities. The Vice-Rector for International Affairs, Gender Equality and Diversity Management leads the Commission.
