Fakult?tentag Informatik (FTI) award for outstanding equality and diversity work

The Fakult?tentag Informatik (FTI) awards the team of equal opportunities officers at the Faculty of Information Systems and Applied Computer Science at the University of Bamberg with the prize for outstanding equal opportunities and diversity work.

On September 25, 2024 in Wiesbaden, the Fakult?tentag Informatik (FTI) awarded this year's prize for outstanding equality and diversity work to the team around the Equal Opportunities Officer of the Faculty of Information Systems and Applied Computer Science (WIAI) at the Otto Friedrich University of Bamberg, Prof. Dr. Ute Schmid. On behalf of the entire team, Prof. Dr. Andreas Henrich (Dean of the WIAI faculty), Theresa Henn (Deputy Equal Opportunities Officer in Science at the WIAI faculty) and Franziska Paukner (Equal Opportunities Officer in Science at the WIAI faculty) accepted the award from the hands of the second deputy RTI chairman, Prof. Dr. Peter Rossmanith from RWTH Aachen University.

On behalf of the jury, Professor Rossmanith praised the WIAI faculty's extensive and comprehensive range of support for girls and young women in computer science from primary school through to the doctoral phase. He emphasized: "Building on the measures to attract female students, the Otto-Friedrich-University of Bamberg relies on the WIAI women's network, a mentoring program for female students, which explicitly supports them in their career planning. Thanks to all these measures, the University of Bamberg has been able to continuously increase the proportion of women in computer science by ten percentage points compared to the German average." The jury also recognized the impressive submissions from the University of Leipzig and the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, which are also dedicated to the topic of equality and diversity work with good ideas and a great deal of commitment.
