In current day research, the core dimensions of diversity play an important role in almost all disciplines, for example, when it comes to sociocultural notions of gender and sexuality in the humanities and social sciences and the consideration of physical conditions of users in technology development or the individual needs of different age groups in medical screening and care.

In order to make this diversity of subjects visible at Thuringian universities and to promote young researchers and scientists, the Thuringian Competence Center for Equal Opportunities (TKG) is awarding the »Diversity Meets Science« prize for thesis with gender and diversity perspectives, which is endowed with 2.000,-€ for the third time.

Applications are invited from graduates in all fields of study at Thuringian universities whose final thesis (bachelor, master, diploma, state examination or doctoral thesis) takes a gender/diversity perspective and was submitted within the last two years (since 01 August 2018). The application deadline is 16 August 2020.

Further information on the call for proposals and application modalities can be found on the homepage of the TKG: www.tkg-info.de/service/foerderungen/praemierung/.
