Laura Bassi Fellowship
The TUM Laura Bassi Scholarship supports outstanding female scientists: Female doctoral researchers in gender and diversity research as well as postdoctoral researchers from all disciplines can apply to further develop their scientific careers.
Women Professors' Forum
Once a semester, the female professors' forum offers TUM female professors the opportunity to network in a relaxed atmosphere, develop ideas and exchange strategies for strengthening their presence and influence at TUM.
Unconscious Bias Online Training
Unconscious prejudices can prove to be an obstacle for students and employees to develop their individual potential in the best possible way. In order to prevent such unconscious bias, many top international universities have introduced mandatory training for their teaching staff and employees. Building on the recommendations and expertise of many of our members, we have developed the TUM Unconscious Bias Online Training, which includes various practical and case examples from our own everyday university life.
Diversity Research
Our website “Diversity Research” gives an overview on gender and diversity related research at the Technical University of Munich.
Gender & Diversity Incentive Fund
TUM's Gender & Diversity Incentive Fund (GDIF) offers researchers the opportunity to initiate and implement diversity measures in order to support an inclusive and equality-oriented university culture and to further strengthen diversity at TUM.
TUM Diversity & Gender Equality Plan
The Diversity & Gender Equality Plan represents TUM's continued commitment to the principle of an open-minded university that attracts and supports the best talents in all their diversity.

Agnes-Mackensen-Program
Support programme for women with a non-academic background and care leavers
