Diversity Service Centre

The Diversity Service Centre is a central institution of the University of Bayreuth for the promotion of diversity and anti-discrimination.

The Diversity Service Centre, together with other university institutions, is committed to

• recognising and appreciating diversity
• promoting equal participation opportunities in studies and work
• eliminating and preventing individual and structural discrimination.

Diversity Dimensions

The focus of our work lies on the following diversity dimensions or discrimination categories:
  

• gender
• disability and chronic illnesses
  
• ethnic background, racism
  
• sexual identity
• age
  
• religion and worldview
  
• cultural and social background.

Intersectionality

In our practical work, we pay special attention to forms of discrimination that arise from the interaction of several categories of discrimination.
