Equal Opportunities & Diversity

Diversity, in terms of the integration of very different people without discrimination due to age, gender, sexual orientation, physical capacities, origin, ethnic affiliation, religion and ideology or way of life, is an elementary cornerstone of the identity and actions of the ZU. In order to safeguard the relevance of diversity and its implementation, the ZU has established the Equal Opportunities and Diversity Concept.


The person responsible for the implementation and further development of the Equal Opportunities and Diversity Concept is the Equal Opportunities Officer. This person is selected from the rows of science and administrative staff and is voted in by the Senate based on a suggestion by the Rectorate, to whom regular reports are submitted.
The central tasks of the Equal Opportunities Officer are:


  • Acting as the point of contact for all employees and students in case of emergencies (see “Guide”)
  • Safeguarding of equality and equal opportunities within all status groups of the university
  • Strategic implementation of a Gender & Diversity Management within the organization
  • Promotion of the reconcilability of family and vocation or studies
  • Accessibility and needs-based equipment in the workplaces of those with disabilities
  • Consultation regarding Equality & Diversity issues
  • Promotion of diversity research


The Equal Opportunities Officer or their deputy is to participate in all appeal proceedings and has the opportunity to make a statement regarding the employment of scientific personnel. The establishment and safeguarding of diversity in all ZU areas and processes is of high strategic and operative relevance and shall also be systematically promoted in future. Regular exchanges are conducted between the Equal Opportunities Officer, the Works Council and the Student Diversity Officer. For this purpose, the Senate of the ZU founded the Senate committee “Equal Opportunities & Diversity” in December 2016 as a platform for collaborative equal opportunities work.

AG Diversität

The AG Diversität is a working group that promotes more diversity at Zeppelin University. With the goal of making the various underlying dimensions more visible, the students involved work on events, workshops, and other projects to promote points of contact and awareness at the university. Together, they advocated for a university with and for all. As the primary point of contact for diversity-related issues, the Diversity Working Group also has an open ear for any student who needs advice or a solution. True to the motto "Showing Strength Together," they are here for you.

Every two semesters, the students elect the student diversity representative. As a representative in the Diversity Working Group and as a contact person at Zeppelin University, the Student Diversity Officer represents diversity issues in the Student Council. Following the election of the Student Diversity Officer, the Student Council elects the members of the working group.


In close exchange with the Equal Opportunity Officers and the Student Council, the student members can thus ensure an environment in which diversity can be connected and create a place where people can be who they are - wonderful!


If you have questions, ideas or criticism, you have the possibility to contact the students of the AG Diversität directly or use one of the following channels. Confidential information will of course remain confidential.
