Topics
In its promotion of Equal Opportunities, the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï focuses on the following topics and is working on numerous measures accordingly.
Recruitment procedure
The ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï is committed to increasing diversity in the composition of its staff, particularly at the professorship level. A central starting point is the quality assurance of the recruitment procedures.
Promotion of early career female researchers
At the ºÚÁϳԹÏ, disproportionately more women than men drop out of academic careers. In order to counteract the so-called "leaky pipeline", the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï provides targeted career support for women.
Work-life-balance
The ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï is aware that balancing university and non-university activities can be challenging. It therefore strives to take the life contexts of its employees and students appropriately into account in its framework conditions.
Access to study and choosing a field of study
Access to studies at the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï is open to all who meet the admission criteria. Nevertheless, there may be visible or invisible barriers for certain groups of people. The ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï is committed to removing these barriers.
Respectful and inclusive study and work environment
The ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï actively works to promote a respectful and inclusive working and study climate and defines points of contact for university employees. Here you will find information on various prevention, information and awareness-raising measures:
Academic culture
Scientific excellence is based on a diversity-sensitive and equal-opportunity scientific culture that is practiced at all levels. The ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï has set up a working group to address this issue and is coordinating the Swiss-wide "Better Science" initiative.
