Diversity & Inclusion

The Department of Sport and Health Sciences considers diversity, i.e. the individual and cultural differences of their students and staff members, to be a special potential. It promotes an educational and occupational environment based on appreciation and equal opportunity so that each member of the department can develop their individual capabilities and resources independent of their gender, nationality, age, disability, sexual orientation and religion.

Hereby, we follow the TUM values and guiding principles, the TUM Diversity Code of Conduct and the TUM Respect Guide.

Structural incorporation at management level

Gender and Diversity Management are considered by the faculty to be cross-sectional tasks and they would like to promote a conscious interaction in all of these fields. In order to achieve this, the topic is perceived as a management responsibility and consequently to be carried out substantially by faculty management.

Diversity Committee

The implementation of these measures and the optimization and changing procedures are accompanied by the diversity committee. The diversity committee is fixated at the executive level and is made up of Prof. Dr. Oberhoffer (Dean), Prof. Dr. Wacker (Professorship for Sociology of Diversity), Dr. Lorenzen (Managing Director), Dr. Olufemi (Women's Representative) and Ms. Göttler (Diversity Appointee).
