Science Slam
That's how diverse research is in Passau!
For the second time, we would like to showcase the great diversity of research at our university by organising a Science Slam on Diversity Day.
What is a Science Slam?
A science slam offers the unique opportunity to present your own research area or project to the audience in a lively and entertaining way within a short space of time. Creativity in the presentation is expressly encouraged - because science can also be fun!
Our Science Slam Diversity will take place on 28 May 2024at 6 pm. All participants will have 10 minutes to present their research topic and, above all, to convince the audience.
Interested in participating?
Are you currently researching an exciting topic and would like to give a broad audience an insight into it? No matter the scope of the research - from a term paper to a habilitation or an international research project - as long as it is related to diversity, all contributions are welcome! Presentations can be given in either German or English.
Register until 08 April 2024 via this form.

Exhibition Opening and Panel Discussion on 31 May
The exhibition "Academic Education of Women in Passau 1622 to 2022" will be opened on May 31, 2022 at 6 pm by a panel discussion on the topic "Women in Higher Education Yesterday - Today - Tomorrow". The panel discussion (in German) will focus in particular on processes of change in recent decades and will take place in room ITZ 017. Registration is not necessary.
The exhibition traces the history of women's academic education in Passau between 1622 and 2022. In addition, individual highlights are set that outline the change in women's roles at universities: from de facto invisibility to women as a novelty to equal participation in university life. The exhibition rotates between buildings in weekly intervals and will be shown until July 17, 2022.
Online Lecture: "Gender Diversity at the University - Experiences, Challenges and Opportunities" on 2 June (in German)
On June 2, 2022, the online lecture "Gender Diversity at Universities - Experiences, Challenges and Opportunities" will take place from 10 to 11:30 am (in German).
In the lecture, Né Fink explains essential terms that often come up in connection with gender diversity, such as inter*, trans*, diverse and abinary in an easily understandable way.
What experiences do trans* and abinary people actually have in the context of higher education? What challenges and opportunities arise from gender diversity? In addition, the lecture will shed light on which structural conditions reinforce or weaken discrimination against trans* and abinary students and how personal encounters in everyday university life make it possible to deal with the topic of gender diversity as a matter of course.
Registration is possible via StudIP, number 69008.
