RTG 3209 China-GRASP

Equity and Diversity

Promotion of equity and diversity

The University of Göttingen prioritizes the promotion of equal opportunities and diversity and implements a comprehensive diversity policy on accessibility, inclusion, and targeted support, reaffirmed by the Stifterverband’s 2024 re-audit certification.
This commitment was also recognized by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in 2022, which awarded the University the top score in the Program for Female Professors.
The University has signed the “Charter on Family Life and Academia” and the “Charter of Diversity,” both of which align with the DFG’s Research-Oriented Equity and Diversity Standards.
The University’s Equal Opportunities and Diversity Office, together with Faculty-based officers, implement these standards through a diversity- and inclusion-oriented university culture and several support measures, which the RTG will systematically integrate with its own.
Integrating diverse perspectives is particularly relevant for China-GRASP’s interdisciplinary and international focus, where understanding structural power dynamics benefits from varied gender, cultural, and disciplinary viewpoints.
RTG members are encouraged to make use of the University's wide range of support services and counselling offers. Further information is available through the resources below.
