Diversity & Anti-Discrimination

As an educational and research institution with responsibility for society as a whole, the University of Regensburg works towards an environment in which equal opportunities are practised across all dimensions of diversity with the aim of equal participation, appreciation and promotion of all members, regardless of their individual characteristics (gender, sexual orientation, age, physical and mental abilities, social background, nationality/ethnicity, religion) and discrimination is avoided. The focus should be on reducing structural discrimination such as entrenched hierarchies, discrepancies in the distribution of resources and opening up opportunities, as well as working towards barrier-free, tolerant, respectful working, teaching and learning conditions that enable people with the most diverse requirements and potential to achieve the best results.
