This training course examines discourses on gender, gender equality, diversity, and inclusion in relation to institutions of higher education in Germany. What does it mean to integrate aspects of sex, gender, and diversity into our research projects? How can we contribute to creating gender- and diversity-sensitive research environments? In this interactive 3-hour workshop, we will explore the benefits of gendered innovations with a focus on the STEM subjects, raise awareness of our own implicit biases and their (harmful) effects, and reflect on the relevance of sex, gender, and diversity in third party funding (e.g. DFG).

If you want to join this training course, you are very welcome to contribute with your curiosity, willingness to share experiences with your peers, and readiness for change in perspective.
