Who is your "HEINE-Mensch 2024"?

1) Please complete the profile sheet and return it to the Equal Opportunity Office by 30/11/2023.

2) The profile sheet will be reviewed by the Equal Opportunity Office for eligibility.

3) Your HEINE person will then be asked if they would like to accept the nomination and given the opportunity to personally introduce themselves in a short profile, tell about their commitment and give the public a little insight into the challenges of their everyday life.

4) For our commemorative publication, we require a profile photo of you, the nominating person, and the following signed declaration of consent: Information and consent "My HEINE person 2024".

5) The profiles of the nominating and nominated persons are finally revised by an editorial office.

6) All HEINE-Mensch 2024 will be photographed individually and published in a commemorative publication. Anonymous entries are not possible.

7) A profile photo is required of each nominating person, which is sent to the Equal Opportunities Office and which is also published in the commemorative publication.

Every two years since 2008, the Central Equal Opportunity Officer has honored female and, since 2018, 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 the past period, a lot has happened in terms of equality, not least due to the dedicated efforts of those honored in the past years. However, much remains to be done, because true equality of opportunity has by no means been achieved yet, and much remains to be done in the coming years and decades. In all likelihood, it will not be possible to achieve the big goal at once. All the more important are the many small steps in the "right" direction - and the more people get involved and take such small steps, the sooner the target will become reality.

Therefore, in the coming year, I, Anja Vervoorts, HHU's Central Equal Opportunity Officer since 2016, would like to call on all HHU faculty, researchers, students and university employees to nominate your Heine Man - regardless of gender. The HEINE person works hard to promote equality and equal opportunity at our university.

My team from the Equal Opportunity Office and I would also like to take this as an opportunity to expand our award, which until now has referred to "My Heine Woman/My Heine Man," to now include "My HEINE Man." With reference to the legal recognition of more than two genders, we would like to include all people in the renaming.

We look forward to your suggestions!
Your Dr. Anja Vervoorts
