Page 42 - Diversity@TUD | Factbook 2023 Gender - Family - Diversity

The data has highlighted where the TU Dresden and its individual schools
currently stand with regard to diversity. Although a large amount of statisti-
cal data is being collected at the university, it is seldom publicly available
to interested members of the university community in a clear and concise
form. This Factbook attempts to address this problem by presenting the
available statistics in a condensed, easy-to-read format. At the same time,
other deficiencies become apparent in the process of gathering these
statistics. Much of the data that would perhaps be of interest for initiating
new measures cannot be collected, let alone published, simply due to data
protection regulations. Nevertheless, this particular collection of facts
can be used to show that a university such as the TU Dresden is a place of
vibrant diversity that has continued to evolve over the past few years. The
Factbook helps to publicly convey this fact to university members, even if it
is unfortunately impossible to depict every diversity aspect in detail. Thus,
it becomes all the more important to establish and enhance a university
culture that reflects and incorporates all of its members. This is a key factor
for the success of a future-oriented university by actively tapping into the
full potential of the TU Dresden's expertise. 4 Conclusion and outlook

The data shown here serves as another step in this direction and helps
to raise awareness. At the same time, the data encourages internal and
external reflection on the current situation and forms the foundation for
further diversity-oriented measures at the TU Dresden.
