Gender Equality Strategy
Caroline von Humboldt Programme
The Caroline von Humboldt Programme (CvH Programme) was designed as strategic gender equality concept for the entire Humboldt-Universität. It was named after the bright writer of letters, Salonière, patron, and wife of Wilhelm von Humboldt.
All gender equality measures of the university are concentrated and linked, regularly evaluated and developed under this roof.
The CvH Programme pursues five goals:
1. Recruitment
Female (early career) researchers are recruited at HU, in particular in fields in which they are underrepresented.
2. Empowerment
Strengthen your strengths. In this spirit, women on all career levels at HU are promoted to develop their full potential.
3. Communication
A communication strategy focused on equal opportunities serves to establish a culture of gender equality at HU.
4. Work-Life-Balance
HU wants to make it possible to reconcile family, study and work time regardless of a person’s sex or gender as a matter of course.
5. Organisation development
At HU, the establishment of gender equality is conceived as a cross-sectional task and organisation development and steering are organised accordingly.
