Funding for equal opportunities initiatives

Stimulus funding – financing of visiting professor of the underrepresented gender

The financing of visiting professor of the underrepresented gender stems from efforts to achieve a more equal gender distribution among Lund University’s professors. Even the fixed-time appointment of a visiting professor of the underrepresented gender can create a positive effect regarding gender equality as a role model in his/her field of research, which is why the University sets aside funding each year.

The application deadline was 31 January 2023. The next application period opens in November 2023, provided that the university board allocates additional funds for the purpose.

Funding for initiatives for equal opportunities, gender equality and preventive work against discrimination within Lund University 

The University sets aside funding to stimulate work in support of equal opportunities, gender equality and preventive action against discrimination at Lund University. The funds are to stimulate long term and sustainable active work in support of equal opportunities and gender equality within the framework of systematic prevention with active measures against discrimination (SFAD), in compliance with the Discrimination Act.

Every year, the University invites its organisational units, employees and students to apply for funding for initiatives aiming to prevent discrimination, promote equal opportunities and gender equality.

The application deadline was 31 January 2023. The next application period opens in November 2023, provided that the university board allocates additional funds for the purpose.
