A professor at Nuremberg Tech

Professors

The University Service for Family, Equality, and Occupational Health (HSFG) provides administrative and organizational support to the university women's affairs officer and her deputy as well as to the Faculty women's affairs officers. 

The university aims to increase the proportion of female professors in all Faculties. The proportion of female professors has increased in recent years, at 16.4 % (WiSe 2017/2018), however, it is still under the national average of 22.3 % at universities of applied sciences (2016). By participating in the “Professorinnenprogramm” of the Federal Government and States, we have gained women on our faculty. Special equality promoting measures have supported these efforts.
