Di­ver­sity Weeks

Welcome to the Diversity Weeks 2025

The Diversity Weeks 2025 will take place from 6 - 27 May at Saarland University. Various formats - from panel discussions to networking events - invite you to engage with the topic of diversity and anti-discrimination, to inform yourself and to engage in dialogue. The Diversity Weeks are also sending out a strong signal this year with a focus on antiracism and antisemitism.

The Equal Opportunities and Diversity Management Unit launched the Diversity Weeks in 2022. These weeks mark the university's signing of the Diversity Charter and give the diversity policy a sustainable structure.

The UdS sees itself as a cosmopolitan and tolerant university that values the diversity of its members.

The Diversity Weeks raise awareness of diversity within the university and promote intercultural exchange and understanding of different perspectives and life experiences.

    Greeting by Vice-President for Administration and Finance Dr. Roland Rolles

    Dear members of the University, 

    I am pleased to announce the fourth Diversity Weeks, which will take place from 6 to 27 May 2025. The Equal Opportunities and Diversity Management Unit (CDM) cordially invites all employees and students to take part in this diverse programme and together send a strong signal for diversity at Saarland University, with this year's focus on antiracism and antisemitism. 

    The aim of this series of events is to raise awareness of diversity and anti-discrimination at our university. Within the framework of numerous events organised by the CDM staff unit together with its network partners, all participants have the opportunity to engage with the topics of diversity, equal opportunities and accessibility from different perspectives, to inform themselves and to network. 

    The programme offers an exciting mix of online formats and on-site events that are open to all UdS employees and students at all locations. Many events are designed in both German and English to cater for as many participants as possible. 

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in organising the Diversity Weeks. I look forward to a great deal of interest and wish all participants an exciting and enriching time. 

    Dr. Roland Rolles, Vice President for Administration and Finance
