Read about SDU's commitment and approach to gender equality.
Gender equality at SDU
SDU aims to be a diverse and inclusive workplace and educational institution, where all employees and students have equal opportunities and rights. Therefore, SDU has a strategic focus on equality.
SDU works strategically with Gender Equality (GE) to ensure a diverse workplace with an innovative and creative research environment, an inclusive working atmosphere, and broad talent recruitment.
The strategic work on gender equality is part of SDU's overarching strategy, which focuses on creating value for society, fostering talent, promoting uniqueness, breaking boundaries, and shaping the future.
How SDU Works with Equality
SDU's efforts towards equality are a continuous and deliberate initiative rooted in evidence-based research and knowledge exchange with other Danish and international universities, including through the network GEAR:DK.
To consolidate and coordinate its equality efforts, SDU has established a Gender Equality Team (GET). This team works on systemic changes at SDU in close collaboration with individual faculties and units, including SDU's central Gender Equality Committee and the equality committees at the faculties and the central administration.
The Gender Equality Team also develops and maintains SDU's Gender Statistics, which provide gender-disaggregated data on new hires and staff.
