The mission statement of TU Bergakademie Freiberg stands for the realisation of equal opportunities and thus the equality of women and men as well as for family friendliness and open encounters with people, cultures and ideas.
In addition to the targeted promotion of young female academics through personal motivation and intensive support, the focus of gender equality work is also on the integration of gender equality indicators into quality management and the expansion of gender issues in teaching and research.
In addition, the aim is to increase acceptance of gender equality work and to achieve greater awareness of gender aspects through gender-equitable language as well as through further training and counselling services. Overall, the aim is to improve the conditions for reconciling work and family life for both genders to such an extent that there are no gender-related disadvantages.
In order to anchor equality, equal opportunities and family friendliness even more firmly in its objectives and procedures, TU Bergakademie Freiberg adopted an equality concept for the first time in spring 2011, which formulates targets and measures for equality work up to 2020. The concept was revised in 2017 and 2021, adapted to current circumstances and confirmed by the Senate as the Equal Opportunities Concept of TU Bergakademie Freiberg - 2022-2030.
In January 2013, the Senate adopted the Final Report of TU Bergakademie Freiberg on the Implementation of the DFG's Research-Oriented Standards on Gender Equality.
Areas of action
In order to set priorities that are underpinned by targeted and clearly structured measures, the Equal Opportunities Concept of TU Bergakademie Freiberg defines six areas of action. They are intended to make it possible to realise gender equality in all member groups and at the various educational and career levels in academic practice.
Equal Opportunities Officer
The Equal Opportunities Officers are also contact persons in accordance with the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). They provide support in cases of hostility and any form of discrimination, be it on the grounds of gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, religion or ideology, skin colour, disability or age.
TU Bergakademie Freiberg is a member of Initiative Klischeefrei
Since June 2021, TU Bergakademie Freiberg has been a partner organisation of the Initiative Klischeefrei, which campaigns for a career and study choice free of gender stereotypes. With our membership, we as a university would like to actively contribute to further reducing prejudices in career and study choices and counteracting outdated role models. It is a good opportunity to draw attention to the promotion of women in STEM degree programmes and diversity at the university.
Here is the statement by Prof. Joseph.
