Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences has set itself the goal of enforcing equal opportunities and gender equality at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and supporting their realization in the (Upper) Lusatia region. In order to enable a continuous and sustainable development and learning process in this field, we bundle our equality-related activities in the Office for Gender Equality, Inclusion, Women's and Diversity Research.
The AGIFD has set itself the task of making questions, challenges and needs relating to gender equality and diversity policy at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and the (Upper) Lusatia region visible, discussing them and working together on ideas and solutions.
At the university, it pursues the goal of enabling non-discriminatory structures and equal participation of all students and employees. The topics of gender equality, advancement of women, inclusion and diversity are understood as cross-cutting tasks that address study and working conditions as well as teaching, research and the third mission. Particular attention is paid to processes of disregard and exclusion of women, LGBTIQ* people, people with disabilities and people with migration experience as well as multiple discrimination. Another focus is the transfer of knowledge to the rural region of (Upper) Lusatia and the inclusion of regional stakeholders in the work processes.
The working group sees itself as an open space for discourse in which all members of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences are welcome to articulate needs and positions and discuss programmatic orientations and possible implementation strategies of the AGIFD. All interested parties can submit an application for personal membership to the spokespersons of the working group. Personal membership requires active participation in the working group. Membership is not required for participation in AGIFD activities.
The working group meets as a whole at least once a semester to coordinate the activities of the university and its members. Specific questions, topics and needs are dealt with in self-organized working groups.
Interested members of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences are invited to get involved in the AGIFD.
You are very welcome! We look forward to your participation and cooperation.
