Funding for initiatives in support of equal opportunities, gender equality and preventive work against discrimination within Lund University
Lund University works in various ways on issues concerning equal opportunities, gender equality and prevention of discrimination. Since 2017, the Discrimination Act has required the University to work preventively with active measures against all forms of discrimination in relation to all the grounds on which the law finds discrimination to occur.
The University has set aside funding for special initiatives in support of equal opportunities, gender equality and preventive action against discrimination. The University now invites all units, employees and students to apply for funding for initiatives aiming to prevent discrimination, promote equal opportunities and gender equality.
The University particularly welcomes applications that comprise collaboration across organisational boundaries, for example between departments or faculties, but also with student organisations or other networks within Lund University. The application deadline is 29 January 2021.
