Equality and Diversity

Aalen University actively promotes equal opportunities - regardless of gender, origin or disability. Particularly in the STEM field, it creates targeted access for women and people with diverse realities of life. With programs, coaching and barrier-free offers, it strengthens careers and breaks down barriers. The aim is to break down stereotypes, make talents visible and encourage women to take on leadership roles. We see diversity as an opportunity - in studying, teaching and research.
