The collaboration usually runs for two to three semesters and is designed to actively support departments in making teaching and studying more diversity-friendly and in strengthening gender and diversity competencies among all members of the faculty. The individual measures are identified in a kick-off workshop or can also come from the respective GEDAP.

The benefits of your faculty's participation include:

• financial & human resource support structures to integrate diversity aspects into your daily work or teaching activities and development of exclusive materials and methods for the faculty.
• the opportunity to further develop competencies in dealing with equality and diversity at the faculty, so that the potential and competencies of academic and administrative employees and students can develop optimally.
• ,access to various gender & diversity-sensitive workshops and training courses, some of which have been developed exclusively for the faculty, e.g. on recruitment and appointment procedures, knowledge transfer/onboarding in administration, didactics, raising awareness of individual topics such as racism, unconscious bias, gender diversity, etc.
• support in public relations and the creation of information materials in the field of equality and diversity.
• exchange and networking with other members of the faculty and experts in the field of equality and diversity.
• contribute to the creation of a diverse and non-discriminatory learning and working environment for all students and employees of the faculty.
• increase productivity and creativity in heterogeneous (research) teams and institutions while minimizing conflicts through training and consultation.
