Gender and Diversity

THI's measures on the topic of equality and diversity

Since October 2019, THI has been a member of the ‘Family in Higher Education’ charter. The aim is to further develop family-friendly working conditions for university employees and family-friendly study conditions for students.

In 2022, the Diversity Charter for Diversity in the world of work was signed by our President and by the Minister of State and Federal Government Commissioner for Migration, Refugees and Integration, Reem Alabali-Radovan. Further information on the Diversity Charter can be found at https://www.charta-der-vielfalt.de/.

In addition to numerous established measures that facilitate the balancing act between family and career/family and academic study, the university offers a counselling service for all members of the university. The personal living and working circumstances of families are becoming increasingly complex; it is no longer enough to offer ready-made solutions. Instead, individualised support is provided in a personal meeting.

An overview of the counselling and support services offered by THI to help reconcile the demands of work, academic study and family life can be found on the subpages of the Equality and Diversity section.

Colourful inclusion working group

We are an open group of students who are committed to feminist equality and gender justice on the one hand and the inclusion of people with disabilities on the other. We organise events and campaigns, such as a queer regulars' table and a project for free menstrual products, to raise awareness of the issues and change the university for the better.
