The University of Mannheim embraces and promotes diversity in all its forms, whether it be origin, identity, sexual orientation, ideology, ability or age: Our aim is to make the university a place where we actively oppose discrimination and stand up for diversity.
In March 2024, the University of Mannheim has completed the “Vielfalt gestalten” (“shaping diversity”) audit and has received the audit certificate. During the two-year audit process, employees of the university have developed an extensive catalog of measures to make the university more diverse. “Diversity does not end with the audit but is an ongoing task,” emphasizes Thomas Fetzer, Vice President for Strategic Planning, Internationalization and Equal Opportunity at the end of the audit process.
