Gender and Diversity Management

KIT’s Equal Opportunity and Diversity Management office provides guidance on issues related to diversity and equal opportunity, ensures that these topics remain in the spotlight, and promotes cross-departmental dialogue. On behalf of the Executive Board, the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity Management (CDM) initiates and designs new measures, concepts, and projects related to equal opportunity and diversity, and further develops and implements existing activities.

You can find a general overview of equal opportunity and diversity at KIT on our main landing page.
