Gender and Diversity Competence Centre

To develop, coordinate, implement and evaluate all diversity management instruments, a Kompetenzzentrum Gender und Diversity (Gender and Diversity Competence Centre) was established in November 2012. The centre brings together established actors, coordinates existing measures and develops further instruments. Additionally, it can assign funding to promote innovative initiatives.
