Contact Office for cases of discrimination and abuse of power
Working together to ensure equal opportunities and an inclusive campus culture
Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf is actively working to achieve a discrimination-sensitive and respectful university culture. By establishing a Contact Office for cases of discrimination and abuse of power, HHU has created a hub to promote an inclusive and safe environment for studies, research and work.
The Office is based at the Heine-Center for Sustainable Development (HCSD) and serves as a central point of contact for all HHU members who have experienced discrimination and/or abuse of power. It also develops prevention and awareness-raising measures in collaboration with other key stakeholders.
Services offered for all HHU members
