Gender-Equitable Appointment Procedures

Transparency and mandatory criteria ensure quality and equity between women and men in the appointment of professors.

The University of Kassel has issued general guidelines on how to conduct appointment procedures. The active recruitment of qualified female academics is of particular importance.
