Diversity- Equity- & Inclusion-Week 2025
From Monday, May 19 to Friday, May 23, 2025, the sixth and final Diversity- Equity- & Inclusion-Week at the University of Bremen will take place. As in previous years, we will offer digital events on a wide range of topics, including care work, caregiving, and issues of discrimination. The focus will be on navigating crisis situations in life and the (in)visible obstacles faced in everyday life. Our experts will shed light on discrimination within the university, in student life, and in the workplace—and will explore what a truly inclusive society with opportunities for participation for all can look like. Our events also offer a space for connection and exchange, because: you are not alone!
We look forward to seeing you there!
