Different perspectives shape how we research, teach, learn, and work. Through lectures, workshops, academic discussions, and public events, participants in the Action Week will explore various dimensions of diversity and discrimination. The week centers on current research, real experiences from everyday university life, and the question of how staff, researchers, and students can work together, respectfully, to build an equitable university.

The events are open to all students, researchers, and staff members at the University of Mannheim and to members of the Pop Akademy Baden-Württemberg.

The full Action Week program and registration information are available on the event page. (in German)
