Gender equality and diversity are core values for Aalborg University (AAU). Our ambition is to be a diverse and inclusive organisation; an organisation that sees diversity as a strength and dares to break new ground to create an inclusive culture. Gender equality and diversity make up part of the foundation of the University’s Knowledge for the World 2022- 2026 strategy.

A focus on gender equality and diversity will allow the university to attract and retain talent, which will enhance the quality of the university’s research, education and knowledge collaboration. Gender equality and diversity are thus a prerequisite for succeeding as a mission-driven university; an AAU that provides answers to today’s global challenges.

We have been working to promote gender equality and diversity at AAU since 2017. We have made progress, but there is still work to be done. We all hold the key to change. With it, we can open the door to an organisation where everyone has the same opportunities to develop and fulfil their professional potential, and where together we possess the qualities to create impactful solutions to big challenges.
