New Diversity & Gender Equality Plan of TUM published

The Executive Board of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has officially adopted the updated Diversity & Gender Equality Plan (DGEP).

The goal of the plan: to systematically promote equal opportunities and diversity at TUM, reduce discrimination, and provide all members of the university with the best possible conditions to develop their individual potential — regardless of gender, origin, age, religion, physical abilities, sexual identity, or social background.

How does TUM implement this?
The DGEP includes a wide range of measures, from promoting gender equality and improving the compatibility of family and career/studies to initiatives against discrimination.

Organization

The Staff Unit Talent Management and Diversity is a School unit which develops, shapes and supports the School's gender and diversity strategy. We work closely with the School's Gender Equality Officers and report to the VD for Talent Management and Diversity.

To better develop and implement our projects, the School has established a Talent Management and Diversity Council (TMD Council), which includes representatives of staff, professors and students, as well as our women's and gender equality officer(s) and people representing disabled persons (meeting twice a year).

Our long-term target is an improved level of information related to all matters concerning career development, gender and diversity.

The list of current TMD Council members is available in our TMD-Intranet.

Illnesses, last-minute appointments and commitments outside of core care hours often present parents with a major challenge. We are happy to support you with the following offers of flexible childcare: nurseries and family rooms, changing tables, and quiet rooms or breastfeeding facilities.

An overview of our offers can be found on the site child care.

Information on booking can be found on the following intranet of the TUM School of Natural Sciences, in the space for Talent Management und Diversity.

Here you can find information, advice and services relating to the compatibility of career or study and family life at TUM. We can provide you with initial information, and we are happy to refer you to our TUM colleagues and network partners

Further information can be found on the page study and work with family.
