With the Diversitas Award 2022, the Ministry for Education, Science and Research distinguishes the initiative “Multiply Diversity!” of the University of Vienna.

Every two years, the award is given to institutions of higher education for extra-ordinary projects in diversity management.

“Multiply Diversity!” includes 15 decentral projects - including the Racism-Critical Working Group at the Department of African Studies - that contributed significantly to bringing the overall diversity strategy of the University of Vienna to life. The projects show how diversity is actually lived and facilitated by different people in different contexts and in different ways at the University.
