Gender & Diversity Management

We take great care to promote equality for all people in all areas of society and to create awareness of the relevance of the categories “gender” and “diversity” at FH Campus Wien and in our teaching.

To do this, we implement a number of measures:

As an important sign of its commitment to diversity management, FH Campus Wien was the first university of applied sciences in Austria to sign the Diversity Charter in autumn 2011.

Code of Conduct for responsible cooperation

In 2012, the university management of FH Campus Wien decided to put a code of conduct into effect for the university of applied sciences. This also includes a commitment to equal opportunity and diversity:
FH Campus Wien recognizes the diversity and differences of the people associated with it in terms of gender, age, sexual orientation, skin color, physical and psychological abilities/disabilities and ethnic origin as special values. Internationality and cultural diversity are strategic goals of the institution. Equality and diversity principles have a prominent place in the Code of Conduct and are also anchored in the mission statement and the strategic orientation of FH Campus Wien.

University and Family Audit

FH Campus Wien received the basic certificate in May 2015 and, after a three-year project period, the full certificate “University and Family Audit” in December 2018. The Federal Ministry for Women, Families and Youth awards this national seal of quality to universities that have successfully participated in the audit. For this reason, it is necessary to create sustainable and needs-based framework conditions for a more family-friendly working and study environment and thus more freedom of choice for employees and students.
