Call for Proposals for the Equality and Diversity Incentive Fund
Providing manifold opportunities and using full potential!
As an inclusive university, it is natural for TU Dresden to recognize and promote diversity. Therefore, to improve participation at our university, it is vital to not only react to problems and obstacles, but also to take measures in order to proactively create positive conditions. For this purpose, funds to promote equality and diversity at TU Dresden are available for the year 2026 . A selection committee will be selecting innovative ideas for new measures as well as existing projects for funding.
What are the goals of the funding?
In 2016, TU Dresden passed the Diversity Strategy 2030, in 2017 the Action Plan on the implementation of the UN CRPD and in 2018 the new Gender Equality Concept. TU Dresden strives to make gender and diversity aspects accessible and influenceable by means of realistic, qualitatively and quantitatively measurable goals. A central concern is to consider equality not only for the purpose of gender sensitivity but to entrench and maintain cross-sectional issues such as family friendliness and the inclusion of people with disabilities as a self-evident part of our university culture. The over-arching Diversity Strategy 2030 represents a conceptual framework that links the topic of gender equality to other diversity dimensions.
Within the framework of the funding, innovative ideas for new measures supporting equality and diversity as well as existing best practice examples at central and decentralized level at TU Dresden are eligible for financing.
