Acting in accordance with equal opportunities and strengthening equal opportunities are guiding principles of the Anti-Discrimination Office, the Diversity Education Office and the Gender Equality Office of the TU Darmstadt. With our specific focuses, we work together for the critical view of dominant power relations and the reduction of discrimination.

At TU Darmstadt, various departments and units with different expertise and focuses work on structures, processes and activities in the field of anti-discrimination, diversity and gender equality. The work is characterized by subject and thematic overlaps and close cooperation. The areas are united by an awareness for an intersectional perspective in everyday practice. In order to address all topics, it is necessary to work on individual areas in detail from a discrimination-critical, diversity-sensitive or gender-equitable perspective. This results in various tasks on which a constant dialogue and exchange is held and decentralized perspectives are also involved.
