Transform4Europe Diversity and Inclusion Strategy

Committed to a diverse, inclusive, and equitable European university

About

Transform4Europe (T4EU) has adopted the Diversity and Inclusion Strategy for the period 2024–2027 as a core part of its vision to build an integrated European university grounded in shared values. This strategy aims to ensure that mobility, interdisciplinarity, and inclusion are standard across all campuses within the Alliance, fostering an academic environment that is fair and accessible to all.

Three Key Action Areas

The strategy is structured around three main pillars that comprehensively address the different dimensions of equality and inclusion:

  • 1. Non-Discrimination: Create an academic environment free from any form of discrimination, where differences are respected and equal opportunities are guaranteed. This includes promoting anti-discrimination protocols, thematic events, curricular inclusion, and cooperation with local organizations.
  • 2. Gender Equality: Integrate gender equity across all levels of the partnership, from research and teaching to decision-making processes. Measures include balanced representation at events, incentives for inclusive research projects, and annual progress monitoring.
  • 3. Inclusion of People with Disabilities: Ensure full access to university life by removing physical and digital barriers and promoting active participation of students with disabilities. Actions include accessibility standards for events, peer support programs, staff training, and adapted academic offerings.

Concrete Measures

Highlighted actions include:

  • Biannual diversity-themed events during T4EU Weeks.
  • Cross-disciplinary training modules on inclusion.
  • Thematic communications on key dates such as Pride Day and International Women’s Day.
  • Inclusive project incentives in research calls.
  • Peer-to-peer support and volunteer programs for students.

 

Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

 The strategy includes a robust monitoring process with annual reports from each university and a joint report to assess overall progress. The aim is to cultivate a university community that is increasingly inclusive, aware, and cohesive.
