Gender Equity

The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics considers the promotion of gender equity and diversity as a great opportunity for the development of mathematics. Promotion of gender equity is also a central goal of the Department of Mathematics and all four mathematical institutes. Many of our gender equity initiatives are collaborations with the Equal Opportunity Committee, the Student Council, and our Outreach and PR Representative. The Hausdorff Center also cooperates closely with the Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics.

We are committed to the goals of the Gender Equity Plan that has been developed jointly between all mathematical institutes in Bonn and coordinated with the Faculty for Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Tea Time - Women in Math

In this informal series of events organized by the Student Council, women - and gender-diverse persons - from the math department are given a chance to network over a cup of tea.

Ombudspersons

Ombudspersons serve as a point of contact and a source of advice in cases of unwelcome or inappropriate behavior. Currently, Regula Krapf and Jack Davies serve in this capacity
