Research & Diversity

Diversity is an important criterion for excellent and socially relevant research. As an aspect of equality in research teams or as a reflection of research content, diversity is also playing an increasingly important role in research funding. Gender and Diversity Consulting is on hand to help you take diversity into account in your applications for third-party funding as well as in collaborative research projects.

Especially the members of the Cornelia Goethe Centre (CGC) conduct research and teach at the interface between gender and other dimensions of diversity.

For Goethe University, anchoring diversity-sensitive teaching and corresponding study conditions in its structure is understood as a cross-cutting task. To this end, the university has developed and implemented a number of fundamental concepts. These include the „Central Gender Equality and Diversity Action Plan 2019-2024“ („Aktionsplan Chancengleichheit 2019-2024“ (German)), which updates the “Diversity Concept" drawn up in 2011 and expands it to include Goethe University's equality strategies. In addition, the “Principles of Teaching and Studies" were formulated, and the „Inclusion Action Plan 2020-2023“ („Aktionsplan Inklusion 2020-2023" (German)) was put in place. Furthermore, anti-discrimination work is of great importance for ensuring students' success, as structural and individual discrimination can affect their ability to work and their chances of succeeding in their studies. To foster awareness towards diversity and anti-discrimination, Goethe University offers event formats and consulting services for various target groups angeboten.
