Our German-language flyer “Berufungsverfahren: Eine Handreichung für Gleichstellungsbeauftragte” (English: “Appointment Procedures: A Guide for Gender Equality Officers”) has been updated.

The flyer is intended as a practical guide and reference tool for faculty Gender Equality Officers. It provides a concise overview of the key responsibilities of Gender Equality Officers in the context of appointment procedures, refers to the relevant legal framework and highlights the main support services offered by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Equality and Diversity Office.

The project “Gender and Diversity-Friendly Appointment Procedures” provides the basis for these services. This project builds on JGU’s commitment to further develop appointment processes at JGU in a gender and diversity-sensitive manner. This commitment is expressed through the signing of the German Rectors’ Conference (HRK) self-commitment declaration “Towards greater gender equality in the appointment of professors – voluntary commitment of German universities”. The Equality and Diversity Office project team supports the work of Gender Equality Officers in pursuing these objectives.
