Diversity

Diversity is an important interdisciplinary responsibility at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Our Diversity Board and the women's representative of the TUM School of Engineering and Design aim to promote a gender- and diversity-friendly university environment within the school. We believe that a study and work environment that is free of discrimination will improve the quality of scientific research, teaching, and campus life, and will create new innovation.

Our work is based on the fundamental values of freedom, democracy, human rights and transparency. Thus, diversity means a mutual respect, participation and inclusivity of all individuals in the scientific community - regardless of gender, nationality, religion and beliefs, ethnicity, disability, age, marital status, first language and sexual identity.

The Diversity Board formulates goals and strategies for an equal work environment at the TUM School of Engineering and Design. The first goals are the embedding of equality principles, a consistent parity monitoring, an increase in awareness of diversity, a more diverse working climate, and a firm institutional establishment of the board.

The Diversity Board is an open structure with no set number of people and it welcomes students, academic and non-academic staff, and professors who would like to contribute either occasionally or regularly, or help shape projects or join discussions.
