Promoting equity and diversity is a central structural objective of the Cluster of Excellence ECONtribute: Markets & Public Policy. Since its start in January 2019, ECONtribute has implemented a wide range of measures to promote equity and diversity. In recognition of its commitment to workplace equality, ECONtribute received the Jenny-Gusyk-Preis in 2019.
Our evidence-based approach draws on insights from ECONtribute’s research and addresses equity and diversity as a nuanced and multi-dimensional challenge. It is based on five key pillars that reflect a comprehensive strategy for fostering equity and inclusion at all levels of academia.
