Leadership plays an essential role in fostering the participation of all social groups, enhancing their cooperation and removing structural barriers to underrepresentation. Goethe University is committed to a gender-equitable and diversity-sensitive organisational structure in terms of working conditions, performance assessment and career opportunities.
The university has already anchored a gender-equitable and diversity-sensitive leadership culture in a number of its guidelines and structures, for example in its Mission Statement, the Central Gender Equality and Diversity Action Plan 2019-2024 as well as its Anti-Discrimination Directive.
