Abstract
In den letzten Jahren ist Gender und Diversity Management zunehmend ein Thema an Hochschulen geworden. Mit der Einrichtung der Stabsstelle „Integration Team – Human Resources, Gender and Diversity Management“ Ende 2007 hat die RWTH Aachen bundesweit als erste technische Hochschule eine stark impulsgebende Struktur für die Umsetzung eines Gender und Diversity Managements geschaffen. Das Konzept der Stabsstelle, die am Rektorat angesiedelt ist, umfasst vier miteinander verknüpfte theoretische und praxisorientierte Konzepte, die sich aus den Gender Studies, den Diversity Studies, dem Gender Mainstreaming und dem Diversity Management ableiten. Dadurch gewinnt die Stabsstelle produktive Blickwechsel und Spannungsfelder zwischen Theorie und Praxis, auf deren Grundlage sie eine innovative Hochschulentwicklung in den Bereichen Organisationsentwicklung, Personalentwicklung, Work-Life-Balance, Forschung und Lehre an der Hochschule mit dem Ziel der Chancengleichheit, Nachhaltigkeit und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit unterstützt.

RWTH Aachen was the first university in Germany that established a strong and sustainable framework for the implementation of Gender and Diversity Management by creating the scientific unit “Integration Team – Human Resources, Gender and Diversity Management” in late 2007. The scientific unit, which is situated at the rector’s office, is based on four theoretically and practically oriented concepts. These derive from the fields of Gender Studies, Diversity Studies, Gender Mainstreaming and Diversity Management. The Integration Team thus benefits from a chance of perspectives as areas of conflict between theory and practice become apparent. Accordingly, the scientific unit can further an innovative development within higher education in the areas of organizational and human resources development, work life balance as well as research and teaching. The main objective is to establish equal opportunities, sustainability and competitiveness.
