Fair of Opportunities
At the "Fair of Opportunities", around 20 diversity-related initiatives and contact points will present themselves in the Arkadenhof of the main building and will offer information on their various projects as well as opportunities to participate. Visit us to talk to the representatives of the participating initiatives and to contribute your perspective.
Studying with disability
Students who are impaired in their studies due to a chronic physical and/or mental illness or disability can find advice and assistance from the Representative for Students with Disabilities and/or Chronic Illnesses.
The counseling is confidential and solution-oriented regarding possible support offers and individual compensatory measures for studies with impairments (especially regarding compensation for disadvantages in the application and admission to studies, in studies and in study and examination performance). All in the sense of a self-determined and successful study with or despite a disabilty!
Sustainability
Sustainability concerns all of us! The creation of a prorectorate and a staff position for sustainability particularly emphasizes the importance of the topic for our university. So it should be comprehensively integrated into research, teaching and administration.
"Team N" (the "N" stands for "Nachhaltigkeit") looks forward to advancing the issue of sustainability at our university together with all of its members."
ZeDiL
The Center for Diversity Research in Teaching (ZeDiL) is a central scientific institution of the University of Bonn for research on diversity in university teaching.
The goal of ZeDiL is the further development of diversity-related teaching at the university through research and consulting. To this end, the center's team develops didactic concepts, carries out projects such as workshops or conferences, and promotes, accompanies and guides research work on the topic.
LGBTQ Department
The LGBTQ Department from students for students welcomes everyone who is marginalized because of their sexual, romantic, and/or gender identity.
Our work is mainly grounded in two different approaches: on one hand, we offer political education work on topics of sexual, romantic and gender diversity from an intersectional perspective– an offer open to anyone who is interested. On the other hand, we host a variety of social events to enhance community building. Visitors who are not (or no longer) students are welcome at our events as well!
Women Connect
To further increase the number of female scientists on the upper career levels, Women Connect offers female scientists of the involved associations a diverse range of workshops, seminars, and lectures.
Women Connect is an umbrella of different research associations (TRR259, TRR237, Cluster ImmunoSensation2, IRTG2168, and SFB1454). On the one hand, with workshops specially tailored to female scientists, we cover topics like career planning, time and project management, work-life balance, and training for appointment procedures. On the other hand, we want to provide a platform for exchanging experiences and expanding the network among each other.
Central Study Advisory and Counseling Service
The Central Study Advisory and Counseling Service (Zentrale Studienberatung, ZSB) is the University’s first contact point for all questions surrounding the Universitiy’s majors and studies.
We provide information and guidance to (prospective) students in all matters related to choosing a degree program, getting started at university and managing their studies. As a coordinating unit within the advisory network of the University of Bonn, we closely cooperate with the central advisory and service points, the faculties and the student representatives. We are also happy to act as a “signpost” and refer you to the right contact to help with your inquiry.
MitSprache
MitSprache is a program of the University of Bonn, which is run by the Department of Intercultural Communication and Multilingualism Research in cooperation with the Caritas association in Bonn.
The program sees language as the key to the integration of new immigrants, enabling educational opportunities and social "Mit-Sprache", or participation. The program focuses on the integration and inclusion of young people of international origin who have newly arrived in Germany and are interested in studying or vocational training.
Women in Science (WiS)
The mission of the LIMES Institute's Women in Science (WiS) committee is to improve the prospects for women in academia and to move progressively from awareness to the transformation of framework conditions for more equality of women in science.
We are a group of women from different countries with different scientific backgrounds and various career levels working at the LIMES Institute. We plan and organize scientific talks, seminars, and podcasts on the most relevant scientific topics. In addition, we exchange ideas on promoting inter-institutional scientific exchange, talent development, and appropriate childcare. Furthermore, we encourage and offer measures for a stable balance between work and personal life, career planning, and training workshops.
At the Fair of Opportunities, we will present the results of our WiS poll, a feedback questionnaire targeting all LIMES Insitute members which aims to enhance the Insitute’s future projects and processes and will be a fundamental pillar for our future actions as a WiS committee.
