Following the amendment of the Higher Education Statistics act on 1 March 2016, new doctoral statistics were introduced. These are compiled on 1 December each year and show the number of doctoral researchers who have been formally admitted for doctoral study by the faculties.

The aim of the gender equality reporting pilot project is to ensure regular collation, analysis and publication of equality-related data, indicators and figures. This provides a sound basis for the targeted integration of equality aspects in planning and control processes, for example within the framework of target agreements or development plans. Uniform access to equality-related data facilitates gender-specific evaluations for students and staff as well as professorial appointments. Specific analyses at the faculty level or for specific equality-related issues make it possible to draw up measures and controls that fulfil the relevant requirements. Deficits and successes become visible in various areas and follow-up processes can be initiated.

At present, our gender equality reporting work is focused on:

1. updating and enhancing the annual reports on equal opportunities for women and men at the University of Passau
    
2. making available a comprehensive range of data to establish binding, verifiable and qualitatively improved gender equality targets

This pilot project is conducted by the Equal Opportunities Section in close co-operation with the Reporting and Statistics Section (University Governance Support Division).
