Our claim

As a place of learning and teaching, research and work, Ilmenau University of Technology actively promotes an appreciative and non-discriminatory university and campus culture.

The Equal Opportunities, Diversity and Health Unit works under this guiding principle and actively promotes the development of a diversity-sensitive university with its measures and tasks.

The unit's tasks cover the following areas:

Equal opportunities

Gender equality and equal opportunities at TU Ilmenau are seen as an important cross-sectional task embedded in overall social processes. Our mission is to anchor equality in the various levels and fields of action of the university. Our aim is to break down barriers in order to enable all members of the university to participate equally in university life in research and teaching.

University health management

Health is one of the most important prerequisites for successful working and studying. The UGM therefore includes both individual preventative measures and the creation of health-promoting framework conditions. An ergonomically designed workplace, health courses and psychosocial counseling are just a small selection of the UGM program.

Counseling services

In addition to the departmental counseling services, the Counseling Compass brings together the information and counseling services of the entire TU Ilmenau. If you are looking for help with problems during your studies or at work, overwhelming situations in everyday life, experiences of discrimination or threatening situations, the Advice Compass points out appropriate advice centers and suitable contact persons.
