Gender-Equitable Academic Career Development

The Diversity Policy emphasizes " culture of truly practiced diversity".
to the Diversity Policy

Diversity and diverse perspectives are drivers of excellent research and teaching at UZH. This applies to the various phases of an academic career. For appointments, promotions, and funding allocations, the UZH has defined criteria that must be applied. The Office for Equality, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI) advises institutes and faculties that wish to examine their relevant practices. The EDI Office is also the point of contact for individuals with EDI-related questions or concerns.

The EDI Office led the innovative HI-FRAME project and sought input from other UZH units. The project lasted from 2021 to 2023, during which time the project team compiled a catalogue of questions for professorial appointment processes. The resulting catalogue of questions is available in English and German.
