Successful Conclusion of the Diversity Audit
In March 2024 the University of Passau successfully completed the Diversity Audit "Vielfalt gestalten".
The most important result of the audit is the Diversity Guideline, which serves as the basis for the future diversity strategy.
We would like to thank all members of the University who participated and collaborated in the Audit!
What is the Diversity Audit "Vielfalt gestalten"?
The Stifterverband's Diversity Audit "Vielfalt gestalten" strengthens universities and other research institutions in designing structures, instruments and measures to better integrate diverse groups of people into everyday academic life.
The auditing process spans a period of approximately two and a half years and consists of an internal auditing process and a Diversity Forum. The internal auditing process serves the (further) development and implementation of a university-specific diversity strategy.
Dr. Daniela De Ridder accompanies us as auditor.

Why does the University of Passau partake in the Diversity Audit?
With its participation in the audit "Vielfalt gestalten" (Shaping Diversity), the University of Passau is deepening its campus-wide engagement with the topic of diversity and creating more participation spaces. The creation of a space for diversity-sensitive discourse will be continued in order to secure a culture of appreciation and to increase the satisfaction of students and employees. Based on the core responsibilities of teaching, research and knowledge transfer, it is the goal of the University of Passau to develop as a social community in such a way as to enable constructive interaction that is beneficial for all.
On the basis of a critical-reflexive diversity approach, the following should be achieved:
- advancement of concrete necessary structural and subject-oriented changes,
- evaluation and bundling of already existing diversity oriented measures and projects and
- visibility, discourse and participation in the area of diversity are to be sustainably secured as an integral quality factor at the University.
For the strategic monitoring of the Audit, there is a Strategy Committee that keeps the overview of the auditing process within the University.

The Steering Group meets at regular intervals and is made up of the spokespeople of the individual working groups ("AGs") and their representatives, as well as people who represent the University's different groups and functionaries. The Steering Group serves as a platform for exchange between the working groups and the steering committee. Thus, it is permanently involved in the content-related work and the documentation of results. It also has the task of bringing the perspectives and concerns of all University members to the Audit and communicating the contents and results to the University community
