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 across all dimensions of diversity are practiced 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 origin, nationality/ethnicity, religion) and discrimination is avoided. The reduction of structurally induced discrimination such as entrenched hierarchies, discrepancies in the distribution of resources and the opening up of opportunities should be just as much a focus as the commitment to barrier-free, tolerant, respectful working, teaching and learning conditions that lead people with the most diverse prerequisites and potentials to the best results.
