Equality & Diversity

Our Vision and our Values

Enlarge

The Women's Representatives of Faculty 11 are deeply committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all women in our faculty. Our primary focus is to advocate for female members—especially students, academic staff, and professors—to help them realize their full potential and secure the best possible support for their academic and professional journeys.

We champion a community that is diverse, respectful, and equitable by collaborating with equality officers, diversity initiatives, and a broad network to guarantee comprehensive promotion and support.

Our Goal

Our central goal is to create an environment in which women have unrestricted opportunities to develop academically and professionally - regardless of their background, age, personal family and life plans, sexual orientation or other individual characteristics. We focus on identifying and eliminating structural and systemic obstacles that stand in the way of women achieving their professional and personal goals. Through targeted measures, we strive to firmly establish a culture of recognition and respect for women at our faculty.

Our Duties
