Anniversary event 25 years of the Equal Opportunities Working Party "50 years of the Equal Opportunities Working Party at the University of Vienna"Jahre Arbeitskreis für Gleichbehandlungsfragen"

The Equal Opportunities Working Party of the University of Vienna advocates a diversity-oriented university culture that condemns all forms of discrimination, actively promotes equality and respects the rights and dignity of all university members. The recognition of diversity should be considered the norm and requires the development of participatory and activating structures integrating students, academics and university staff.
