Celebrating diversity at UPB on the 28th of May 2024
For 12 years now, the Diversity Charter has been calling on companies, organisations and educational institutions to take part in the annual "German Diversity Day". As a signatory to the Diversity Charter, Paderborn University is particularly keen to respond to this call and once again demonstrate its commitment to diversity issues on campus with numerous action stands in the library foyer on 28 May.
Together with more than 830 organisations , it has registered one of over 2,600 activities for #DDT24 and will once again use its #VoteForDiversity. In addition to a diversity quiz, where anyone interested can test their knowledge of diversity issues, the dialogue partners invited to the day of action from various university-wide institutions and initiatives in the field of diversity are a particular success factor: at four action stands, they will provide information on this year's focus topic of first-time academics, report on their diversity-related activities as well as their everyday work and research and thus present the range of existing structures relating to diversity on the Paderborn campus. The day of action will also be followed by a series of events entitled "You too? First-time academics at UPB" in June and July 2024.
Further information on the Paderborn Day of Action can also be found on the Diversity Charter action map . You can also find interesting information under the hashtag #DDT24 and on the Diversity Charter homepage .

Speaker: Dr Anda-Lisa Harmening (Managing Director of the Graduate Centre of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities)
Location: NN
There are various myths surrounding the doctorate that (could) deter first-time academics in particular from doing a doctorate. The talk will deal with these myths, which will be subjected to a reality check. It will also discuss support services at Paderborn University and the great and possibly unknown aspects of a doctoral phase. The subsequent exchange format is intended to give all attendees the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and engage in peer-to-peer discussions. Afterwards, graduates will meet for an informal exchange at the graduate get-together.
After the three events, all interested parties are cordially invited to an informal discussion with the speakers at the UPB Grillcafé.
