Eq­ui­ty, Di­ver­si­ty, In­clu­sion and Be­long­ing at HU

For the Humboldt University, adhering to the principles of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging (EDIB) means that all its members should have the same opportunities to realise their potential, regardless of their social background and migration history, their gender, ethnicity, religion or world view, sexual orientation, gender identity or other characteristics. The aim of the HU is to promote the diversity of its members and to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, heard, and valued. Accordingly, at HU, the promotion of equity, diversity, inclusion & belonging is always considered together with the reduction of existing inequalities, barriers and disadvantages and thus with the combating and prevention of discrimination and violence.

The Centre for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging (EDIB)

Since 2024, the (former) Office of the Central Women's and Equal Opportunities Officer, the Family Support Office, the newly created Anti-Discrimination & Diversity Office, the Antisemitism Office and the office of the Berlin Equal Opportunities Program have been brought together in the Centre EDIB. This means that important players in anti-discrimination work at the HU are now united under one roof.

The Centre for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging pursues an intersectional approach. It takes into account both the general principles of anti-discrimination work and the specific challenges of work against anti-Semitism.
