The University of Potsdam has successfully completed the "Shaping Diversity" audit and received the certificate of the same name from the Stifterverband für die deutsche Wissenschaft. This confirms that the University of Potsdam sees the diversity of its students and employees as an opportunity and that it has found ways to use this potential for university development. On February 14, 2023, Vice President for Teaching and Studies Dr. Britta van Kempen and Equal Opportunity and Diversity Officer Dr. Nina Khan accepted the certificate at a ceremony in Berlin. "By participating in the Diversity Audit, the University of Potsdam has reached important milestones in its diversity work and created a solid foundation for the coming years," says Vice President for Research, Early Career Researchers and Equal Opportunities, Barbara Höhle. Together with six other universities, the University of Potsdam underwent a two-year process and engaged in an intensive organizational development process. Among other things, the goals were to agree on a common understanding of diversity, to engage in an open dialogue on the topics of diversity and anti-discrimination with all university employees, and to develop a custom-tailored diversity strategy for the University of Potsdam.
