4th Gender and Diversity Research Day at RPTU

Call for Presentations

The Gender and Diversity Research Day has been an established tradition at RPTU since 2023. We are continuing this successful series this year and cordially invite you to join us on 11.06.2026 for this day. As the GDFT is always held alternately at both locations, this time it will take place in Kaiserslautern, in the LASE building*.

The aim of the research day is to showcase the wide range of research projects conducted by researchers at RPTU on the topics of gender and social diversity. We want to show how these perspectives are anchored in the STEM subjects as well as in the social sciences or other research groups at our university.

 

Submission opportunities
We call on colleagues from all departments to contribute their expertise and current research findings in one of the following formats, but research papers by students are also welcome:

  • Plenary lectures: Presentation of relevant, comprehensive research findings.
  • Poster presentation: Presentation of ongoing projects, dissertations, theses or individual studies. There will be sufficient time for discussion after the poster sessions.

We also invite all interested parties without their own active contribution to attend and view the lectures and poster presentations. Registration is not required.

Your submission
Please send your proposal by 30.04.2026 by e-mail to Juliane Märdian juliane.maerdian[at]rptu.de or Natascha Compes natascha.compes[at]rptu.de. Your submission should include the following information:

  1. Personal details: Name, department, working group if applicable
  2. Type of contribution: lecture or poster
  3. Title of the contribution
  4. Abstract: short summary (max. 250 words)

 

Diversity unites: We look forward to active participation from all areas of study and from both campuses to further strengthen the interdisciplinary dialog at our university!
