Once a year, Goethe University Frankfurt funds projects in the field of women's and gender studies – known as “Small Gender Projects" – with a grant of 50% up to a maximum of €3,000; the other 50% must be financed by the faculties. The project should especially aim to foster the academic qualification of early career researchers in women's and gender studies. Applications can be submitted until 30 September 2023.

In its mission statement, Goethe University Frankfurt acknowledges the social responsibility of research and teaching, including the necessity to align science with the needs of as many people as possible, and to integrate different perspectives. That is why Goethe University considers the integration of gender/sex & diversity in research and teaching as a university-wide task. Gender/sex & diversity are reflected, and – where applicable – considered in the formulation of the research object and the research question, in the literature search as well as previous studies, in the planning and implementation of data collection or experiments, in the analyses of research data, in the presentation of results, and in the transfer of findings. In its 10-point paper, Goethe University includes concrete measures for the systematic consideration of gender/sex & diversity in ten identified fields of action and sets impulses for the Germany-wide discourse on the subject.
