Call for nominations: Diversity-sensitive teaching award 2022

As in previous years, TU Dresden will once again award the Best Practice Award for diversity-sensitive teaching. The teaching award has been designed to honour lecturers and teaching concepts that address diversity, or one or several aspects of diversity (e.g. gender, inclusion, origin, family responsibilities, etc.) in line with TU Dresden’s Diversity Strategy 2030. In doing so, the courses and lecturers help to raise awareness among students to diversity in everyday university (and societal) life. At the same time, the teaching award is intended to effectively expose the high relevance of diversity-sensitive aspects as part of excellent teaching for all students. The since May 2021 available Self-Assessment Test is designed to support teachers in assessing their level of diversity competence in university instruction. Firstly, it is meant to accompany and reflect on aspects of diversity in teaching practices. Secondly, it should encourage to continue growing in this area www.tu-dresden.de/diversity/lehre.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the substantial switch to online teaching, best practice examples for diversity sensitivity in online teaching are much sought after.

Please submit your proposals using the attached form and attachments in electronic form by email to by April 22, 2022.
