The University of Stuttgart is currently undergoing a two-and-a-half-year diversity auditing process by the Stifterverband. In this process, all university members can actively contribute their experiences, competencies and concerns/suggestions in order to further develop the university-specific diversity strategy. To this end, the diversity audit will be the focus of this year's Diversity Day on 23.05.2023. All interested parties are cordially invited to a public event at which, after input on current information on the state of diversity and the diversity audit, they will work together on the development of concrete measures for the University of Stuttgart.
