Appointments

The Faculty Appointments Office supports various stakeholders in their appointment procedures. The aim is to make the appointment procedures at the European University Foundation standard-setting and transparent.

Equal Opportunity Division

The equal opportunity division at the Viadrina creates an environment for students and staff that recognises diversity, focuses on potential and develops skills. At the same time, this reduces discrimination and creates a more diverse academic and working culture.

Diversity Management

Diversity Management (DiM) for students is about actively and consciously developing a culture that promotes and values diversity. Similarities and differences should be sensitively recognised, accepted and used as potential. DiM aims to make the university as non-discriminatory as possible through full integration.
