Diversity Day at the University of Bamberg

The University of Bamberg is once again participating in the nationwide Diversity Day, an initiative of the Diversity Charter. University needs diversity, and the range of this year's activities and events at and around 19 May 2026 reflects that. Students, staff, researchers, and the general public can choose from numerous diversity offerings organized by various diversity advocates at our university.
