Office hours by appointment
Gender equality and equal opportunity is very diverse and impacts all areas of living and working at the University. Equally great is the importance of the leading principle Equal Opportunities. The implementation of this responsible task falls on the equal opportunities officer, who promotes the implementation of the Bavarian Law on Gender Equality (Bayerisches Gesetz zur Gleichstellung von Männern und Frauen), and who is the competent contact person for non-scientific staff.
The Equal opportunities officers support and monitor the implementation of the Bavarian Law on Gender Equality (Bayerisches Gesetz zur Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern, in German), which applies University-internally to the (female and male) staff supporting science, i.e. the non-scientific staff.
The fundamental objective of the law is the realisation of gender equality of women and men in the public service (respecting the priority of aptitude, qualification and professional performance). This objective is to be achieved by:
- Increasing the share of women in areas in which they are significantly under-represented compared to men to achieve equal participation of women.
- Securing equal opportunity of women and men (e.g. by training activities);
- A better reconciliation of family and working life for women and men (by part-time work models, telework, child care offers);
- Working towards equal participation of women and men in committees.
Within their area of responsibility, the equal opportunities officers are involved in all subjects relevant to equal opportunity of women and men, reconciliation of family and working life and which ensure equal opportunity. The responsibilities of the equal opportunities officers include counselling on equal opportunity matters and support of members of University staff. The staff members may contact the equal opportunities officers directly.
The equal opportunities officers have a direct reporting right for the head of service, by whom they are supported in the execution of their tasks, and they can directly contact the Bavarian Data Protection Commissioner. In order to be able to perform their duties, the equal opportunities officers must be informed comprehensively and promptly. Required documents must be submitted early and required information must be given. The equal opportunities officers must be involved early in all equality-relevant projects. Upon the concerned person’s request, the equal opportunities officers can be involved in personnel matters and in job interviews, and, if there is sufficient evidence, in cases of non-observance of the purpose of the Bavarian Law on Gender Equality. The equal opportunities officers and the staff assigned to them to perform their duties are obliged to observe confidentiality regarding personal data and other personal matters, even after their appointment has ended. Personnel files must only be inspected with the approval of the concerned persons.
The institutions of the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt support the equal opportunities officer in the performance of their tasks, inform them comprehensively and promptly about equality-relevant processes and involve them in these processes.
