The gender- and diversity-oriented design of studies and teaching is a central concern of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. In particular, it is guided by the strategy paper „UNIVERSITÄT GÖTTINGEN: POSITIONEN UND PERSPEKTIVEN 2014 – 2024“ (in German), the Diversity strategy" of the University of Göttingen and the Mission statement for teaching and learning.

Funded from 2011 to 2020 as part of the Göttingen Campus QPLUS project.
