The University of Oldenburg is committed to a culture of diversity and equal, inclusive participation of all its members, staff and guests. Promoting and shaping diversity is a strategic task at management level and is carried out with the involvement of officers working on different aspects of diversity and interest groups.

As part of the diversity audit of the ‚Stifterverband’ the University of Oldenburg has developed a diversity strategy in order to structurally and sustainably anchor diversity as a cross-sectional task. On the path to a diversity-oriented structure and culture, the university focuses on the areas of inclusion, open university, internationalization and gender diversity. In principle, the protection against disadvantage and discrimination is essential for the successful promotion of equal opportunities.
