GO Forschung – Gender Aspects in Focus
Gender Aspects in Focus
Excellent research is geared towards the needs of all people and recognises that research results can have different consequences for different genders. The University of Bayreuth is following this approach with its new "GO Forschung" project, which was approved by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) on December 18th 2023 (€850,000).

GO Forschung – Focus on Early Career Researchers
The structural development concept "GO Forschung" aims to establish the consideration of gender aspects in research in all areas of the University of Bayreuth as a quality feature and cross-cutting issue. It aims to consolidate the gender relevance check as a standard of excellent research. The concept includes different measures. Some of these are aimed at students and early career researchers, as these are the people who will shape research, development and innovation in the future. With these target group specific individual measures and an overall strategic objective, we are pursuing our vision of a changed, equal and non-discriminatory university and academic culture in the long term. The project forms part of the BMFTR funding initiative "Gender Aspects in Focus" (GiB). The individual projects are connected through the GiB community network.
