Diversity Management

Our university emphasises equal opportunities and diversity. H-BRS offers its members an appreciative, cooperative working, learning and living environment, gives due consideration to professional capacity in various life contexts, and guides students to the best possible success in their studies.

Central Diversity Management Team

The task of the central Diversity Management team is to consider diversity aspects at a strategic and conceptional level and across the university. In addition, our diversity management is a point of contact for discrimination at H-BRS.

The central Diversity Management Team is composed of:

• Head of Diversity Management (team leader) – Sarah Friedrichs

• Coordinator International Affairs and Diversity – Kristin Pöllmann

• Coordinator Inclusive University and Diversity – Katrin Maag

• Inclusion assistance - Vivien Herrig

• Team support - July Lemos

• Research and student assistants, interns, students working on Master's or Bachelor's projects or theses related to diversity

Diversity Steering Committee

The Vice President for International Affairs and Diversity (Prof. Dr. Jürgen Bode), the Presidential Commissioner for Diversity (Prof. Dr. Annette Menke) and the Head of Diversity Management (Sarah Friedrichs) form the Diversity Steering Committee, which is responsible for implementing the diversity strategy and sets the strategic framework. The Diversity Steering Committee takes up impulses from the President' s Office and reports on diversity activities at the H-BRS.
