Fostering diversity. Living equality.

In line with its 2025–2034 development plan, ABU sees itself as an open house in an open society – with a clear commitment to diversity, equal opportunities, and gender equality. Find out more about the role of the Coordinator for Equality, Gender & Diversity and the Non-discrimination commission (AKG).

Preventing gender-based violence

The ABU has signed the EU GenderSafe Pledge, thereby sending a clear signal against gender-based violence (GBV). This initiative calls on universities to take active measures to prevent and combat GBV through awareness raising, clear complaint mechanisms, and a culture of zero tolerance towards violence.

The signing of the pledge complements ABU's existing measures and ties in with our Gender Equality Plan (GEP), which includes a separate chapter explicitly dedicated to the prevention of gender-based violence. In doing so, we are strengthening our commitment to a safe, discrimination-free university culture.
