RPTU-wide Survey on Diversity and Equal Opportunity Has Begun

The RPTU would like to gain a comprehensive understanding of how diversity, experiences of discrimination, and the diversity climate are perceived and experienced at the university.

This effort is based on an analysis of the current situation: The nonprofit organization Citizens For Europe, with its interdisciplinary research team “Vielfalt entscheidet,” has developed an online survey on behalf of RPTU. All members of the university—students, faculty, and staff—are cordially invited to participate. The survey examines how diverse the university and its community are and how university members experience diversity and discrimination in their daily academic and professional lives.

Such an assessment helps the university plan, implement, and evaluate measures to reduce (multiple) discrimination and promote diversity in a way that is tailored to specific target groups. In other words, concrete actions to be taken will be derived from the anonymized results.

The link survey.vielfaltentscheidet.de/rptu leads to the registration page. Answering the questions will take approximately 15 to 35 minutes.

Absolute confidentiality and anonymization are guaranteed: Citizens For Europe, the organization processing the data, does not share any information about survey participants with the university. The RPTU does not have access to individual responses or raw data, but only receives a summary, anonymized report. This ensures that no conclusions can be drawn about specific individuals.

Thank you very much for your participation and your support in further developing a discrimination-sensitive and diverse RPTU!
