Diversity Representatives

Anna Bykoriz, Student B.Sc. Psychology – Chairperson

The Diversity Representatives advocate for all issues and interests that protect and advance the understanding of diversity at the IPU Berlin. As orientation, the Diversity Guidelines describe policies and goals of the university regarding its overall dealings. The representatives regularly review and update the guidelines. Suggestions and considerations about the guidelines are welcome. You can also read our Gender Equality Plan here.

Regular tasks include team meetings every 14 days as well as participation in the academic senate and univeristy appointment committee.
The goal is to maintain and encourage a climate of openness, education and sensitivity at the IPU Berlin. Not only studying and working should be accessible to all persons, but also personal development.

If you have experienced discrimination, the Diversity Representatives will support you discretely and confidentially: diversity(at)ipu-berlin.de
