Advancement of Women in Academia
TU Graz aims to create conditions that enable all people to develop their professional and personal potential without being restricted by gender-specific or other discriminatory categorisations.
The advancement of women in academia is of crucial importance in this context in order to ensure equal opportunities and increase scientific excellence. Despite significant progress, women are still underrepresented in many scientific disciplines, especially in leadership positions. The initiatives for the advancement of women at TU Graz aim to eliminate this inequality by offering targeted support measures:
