Diversity meets science

In contemporary research, the core dimensions of diversity play an important role in almost all specialist disciplines: for example, when it comes to socio-cultural ideas of gender and sexuality in the humanities and social sciences, the inclusion of users' physical requirements in the development of technology or the individual needs of different age groups in early medical diagnosis and care.

In order to make this diversity of topics visible at Thuringian universities and to promote prospective academics, the Thuringian Competence Network for Gender Equality (TKG) is organising the prize endowed with 2,000 euros Diversity meets science for the seventh time this year.

Applications are invited from graduates of all disciplines at Thuringian universities whose final thesis (Bachelor's, Master's, diploma, state examination or doctoral thesis) takes a gender/diversity perspective and was submitted within the last two years (since August 2022).

The Application is until 15 December 2024 possible.
