Completed Equality Projects
For more information about the project and its research content, please click here.
The Equality Office at the MHH created a women's calendar (2018) with partly forgotten female doctors and scientists. A lot of them are namesakes for different funding programs all over Germany.
Since 2006 there is the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG) in Germany. This law is supposed to combat injustice rooted in gender, ethnic background, religion, disabilities, age or sexual identity in the workplace.
In 2016 the Equality Office initiated a series of lectures called "Chance oder Herausforderung? Diversity in der Medizin", to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the General Act on Equal Treatment.
More information on the project can be found here.
In 2013 the workshop series "Geschlecht und Vielfalt: Neue Impulse für die Medizin" launched. In this series one takes a closer look at diversity in the realm of gender-sensitive medicine.
In 2013 the project "Zukunftslabor 2+x für studentische Eltern und studierende Paare mit Kinderwunsch" took place, which aimed at helping Dual Career Couples at the MHH managing both career and family.
In 2010 the program WEP lauchend and, being financed by european social fonds, went on till 2013. After that the project went on as WEP 2.0, being fully funded by the MHH.
The program aimed at supporting parents wanting to return to working in healthcare after parental leave.

"WEP -Wiedereinstieg nach der Elternzeit für die Pflege - Ein Bericht über den Verlauf und die Ergebnisse des Projektes".
From 2008 till 2011 the project "Implementierung geschlechterspezifischer Inhalte in das Curriculum des Reformstudienganges HannibaL an der MHH" was launched, being a cooperation between the dean and equal opportunity commissioner with a lot of different workshops.
In the history of the MHH there where mostly men at so called decisive positions. Still 40 years university wouldn't be possible without women; after all about 70% of the MHHs employees are women.
The Exhibition „Blickwechsel“ was created with that thought in mind, showcasing the history and faces of the Equality Office in January 2006.
