Events promoting equal opportunities and diversity

Through workshops and organized discussions, the Cluster of Excellence aims to ensure equal opportunities for its members and to reduce discrimination in the workplace and in society as a whole. Early-career researchers can deepen their rhetorical and presentational skills in the workshops, which, depending on demand, are offered once a semester and are tailored to the wishes and needs of those interested. The point of contact is the Commission for Equal Opportunities and Diversity.
