Organisational Culture

The Diversity & Inclusion Office plans, implements and evaluates projects intended to improve the way in which degrees, research and administration are designed in terms of gender, diversity and family compati-bility. Focal points include actively promoting female excellence and establishing the university as a family-friendly organization and a serviceoriented employer within the international academic community.

Leadership & Development supports the university as a future-oriented learning organization in its cultural development. The department promotes an appreciative leadership and cooperation culture in all areas and offers individual counseling and coaching for all employees as well as support for teams, departments or organizational units. It develops a training program focused to university needs and is committed to health promotion and communication. 

The University of Basel does not tolerate sexual harassment, discrimination or bullying. The Personal Integrity Coordination Office works preventively to protect and respect the personal integrity of all university employees (staff and students) and acts as a low-threshold and confidential point of contact and advice.
