Network for Diversity and Equal Opportunity
The network is an association of various coordinators and representatives of the HNEE for the shaping of diversity and equal opportunities as well as the implementation of the concepts for equality and anti-racism. Together we advocate a positive perspective on the diversity of people and lifestyles as well as an appreciative approach in everyday university life.
As coordinators/officials and as a network, we organise information events, workshops and trainings on a wide range of topics from family issues to anti-racism. We want to sensitise all university members to discrimination and strengthen their commitment to democratic coexistence.
We offer counselling** and support in the event of experiences of discrimination. Employees and students are invited to contact the respective contact persons if they have experienced discrimination themselves or have witnessed it as a third party. You are also welcome to use the form below to contact us (anonymously) if you have experienced discrimination.
