Office of Equality and Diversity
The Office of Equality and Diversity is the central port of call at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) for everything to do with equality of opportunity. To encourage equality of opportunity, FAU implements strategies aimed at ensuring compatibility between studying, working and having a family as well as gender mainstreaming and diversity management strategies.
Gender mainstreaming and diversity management are covered by the Office of Equality and Diversity, and information is provided in our gender and diversity portals. The Office also supports the women’s representatives in fulfilling their tasks. Our brochure gives an overview of the areas we work in, and highlights some of the projects and services offered by the Office of Equality and Diversity.
FAU is participating in this year's German Diversity Day with an interesting program, and we would like to cordially invite you all to take part!

You are far from alone in this, as many so-called first-time academics know these experiences and questions precisely!
As part of its diversity strategy, FAU works specifically to reduce all forms of discrimination. The new employee network MosaicFAU – Community of PoC would like to make a contribution to this and establish a culturally and ethnically diverse community that brings together all FAU employees who are affected by racism in the context of their university activities and in everyday life, and create a safer space.
