Providing manifold opportunities and using full potential!
In ever more complex work, research and study environments, TU Dresden aims to provide all students and staff with manifold opportunities and use all the potential available. This guiding principle comprises far more than measures that serve to prevent any kind of discrimination due to ethnic or social origin, gender, religion, ideology, disability, age or sexual identity. Improving participation at TU Dresden requires not only reacting to problems and obstructions as they arise, but also to take proactive measures by creating a positive environment.
The Staff Unit Diversity Management at TU Dresden aims to develop a strategic master plan for acknowledging and expressing appreciation for the diversity of our university's members, and also to ensure organizational accessibility.

Our vision
The Diversity Strategy at TU Dresden follows an intersectional approach. We enact a paradigm shift from integration to inclusion. To this end, individuality serves as the basis for any action and guarantees fair participation for everybody. TU Dresden sets new standards in higher education and is a role model as an educational institution and employer through its celebration of diversity.
Our understanding of diversity
The term "diversity" is used to describe manifold and varied qualities, inequalities, otherness, heterogeneity or also individuality. Diversity covers a range of more or less clearly defined core dimensions. These are gender, health, ethnic and social origin,
world view, age and sexual identity. The core dimensions characterize individual ways of life that also affect the fulfillment of familial duties.
