From the
argumentation of the Total E-Quality Award jury (in German)
:
"The focus of activities in recent years has been the conception of a comprehensive action plan for gender equality as well as the conception of an action plan for the inclusion of people with disabilities at the UFZ. [...] Furthermore, there is an agreement for the promotion of equal opportunities at the UFZ. Explicitly worth mentioning is the Key Indicator Report, which for the first time summarizes the most important indicators on diversity at the UFZ in one report and thus forms the basis for comprehensive diversity monitoring and the derivation of specific and more targeted measures. The monitoring process can be considered exemplary for the Helmholtz Association and beyond." (translated by UFZ)
