International Women’s Day

We have been celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8 for over 100 years – and today is no exception! 🥳💜
This year’s theme is: “Investing in women: Accelerate Progress’, with the UN particularly wanting to draw attention to the difficulties in achieving equality due to a lack of investment.

At stuvus, the chairmanship has been in female hands for almost 2 years now. We are delighted that the role of women is also becoming increasingly important at the university! This year, we have a higher proportion of women than ever before with 39% of first-time enrolments, and we are also pleased that our Rectorate has a strong female presence with Ms. Steiger as the new Chancellor.

Of course, we have not yet reached the end of the road, and the proportion of female professors is still below 20% (as of October 5, 2023).

We at stuvus are also committed to equal opportunities for women – in particular our Department for Equality, Diversity and Social Affairs.
