Diversity Day 2023

May 23, 2023

Diversity Day at the University of Stuttgart – So far, so good? The University of Stuttgart is using this year's nationwide Diversity Day on May 23, 2023, to assess the achievements of Diversity Day so far.

Diversity is a hot topic that is currently on everyone's lips, both in politics and wider society. But what does this term mean to us at the University of Stuttgart? What aspects can we be satisfied with and even proud of? Where do we need to improve? Who is involved? And what areas are still regarded with skepticism? What should we focus on next?

Working together with a dedicated group at the University of Stuttgart, we are exploring these questions as part of the diversity auditing process "Shaping Diversity". Diversity means participation - and only by participating can we live and breathe diversity on campus, in the offices, workshops and laboratories at the university. That's why we want to shape the nationwide Diversity Day of the Diversity Charter together and ensure that everyone has a voice.
