Gender Equality Officers of the Digital Engineering Faculty
What are Gender Equality Officers (German abbreviation: GBAs) and who are we?
From the Brandenburg Higher Education Act (BbgHG):
"The Gender Equality Officers advise and support the President and the other bodies and institutions of the university in all matters concerning equal opportunities for women and men, in particular with regard to target agreements, structural and personnel decisions as well as with regard to the preparation and monitoring of guidelines for the advancement of women and plans for the advancement of women. They inform all members of the university and accept suggestions and complaints. (Section 68 (2))
This paragraph also defines that only women may be elected and appointed to the position of Gender Equality Officers and deputy. Equality work also means a lot of committee work: The Gender Equality Officers participate in, among other things, the Faculty Council meetings, the appointment committees and the Commission for Equal Opportunities (abbreviation: CGK). A further field of activity is the provision of information, advice and support to members of the university when problems arise. In addition, there is the implementation of measures from the faculty's Gender Equality Plan, such as the "Women in Tech" events and other activities.
