Inclusivity, diversity and equality are at the core of our organizational culture. We do not only place particular emphasis on these values in order to excel within our research, but we also maintain these principles beyond academic performance.
We are fully committed in fostering a work environment in which all members, regardless of their gender identity, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, religion and (dis-)abilities, are valued. In doing so, we acknowledge systemic disparities within our own academic sphere and promote an inclusive culture and equity values.
In accordance with the Equal Opportunities Strategy of the University of Cologne, we engage in fostering inclusivity, diversity, equality throughout recruitment, career development as well as increasing awareness for the principles of equity and diversity. We acknowledge that our endeavors are not exhausted by these measures and strive to identify and implement further steps in an ongoing process.
