Mein HEINE-Mensch 2024

Every two years since 2008, the Central Equal Opportunities Officer has honored initially female and since 2018 also male lecturers, researchers, students and university employees at HHU who have rendered outstanding services to equal opportunities for women and men within the university and beyond in a variety of ways. With reference to the legal recognition of more than two genders, we have renamed the project to include all people. Since 2020, the project has been called "My HEINE person".

A lot has happened in terms of equality over the past period, not least thanks to the dedicated efforts of those honored in recent years. However, much remains to be done, because real equality of opportunity has by no means yet been achieved, and much remains to be done in the coming years, probably decades. In all likelihood, it will not be possible to achieve the big goal immediately. This makes the many small steps in the "right" direction all the more important - and the more people get involved and take these small steps, the sooner the target will become reality.

Next year, all teaching staff, researchers, students and university employees at HHU* will once again be called upon to nominate their HEINE person - regardless of gender.
Further information will follow in fall 2025.
