RPTU is a place where people from over 120 countries study, teach, research and work together. It stands for diversity, respect and community - values that characterize our university and that we bring to our cities of Kaiserslautern and Landau to make them vibrant, cosmopolitan places. RPTU has always benefited from the cosmopolitan hospitality, respect and tolerance of the local people.
Kaiserslautern and Landau are vibrant, diverse cities where people from a wide range of cultures, religions and backgrounds feel at home. Their diversity is reflected in multicultural events, architecture, the culinary landscape and numerous associations and initiatives that actively promote dialog and exchange.
As a university, we believe in democracy, freedom and scientific knowledge. We are convinced that it is important to ask questions, to question things, and that diversity is our greatest strength.
With the “Stop-Hand Challenge,” we are sending a clear signal. We stand together and show that diversity is not a threat, but our greatest strength. Diversity, respect and community are the basis for a future worth living.
Every “stop hand” that is raised makes it clear: we are many. We stand together – for respect, community and a future worth living.
Sincerely
Malte Drescher
President of the RPTU
