University of Vienna’s Gender Equality Report
At the University of Vienna, gender equality monitoring has been in place for 20 years now. Until now, the regularly published series „Gender in Focus“, has made visible gender relations from enrollment to professorship and leadership positions.
Since 2023, the digital Gender Equality Report is published here. It is updated annually.
On the following pages (navigation on the right side), you will find graphics depicting gender ratios in undergraduate studies, doctoral programs, habilitation, as well as among academic and non-academic university staff and leadership positions. Additionally, there are intellectual capital report indicators for professorial appointment procedures, women’s quota in collegiate bodies, and the gender pay gap among professorships. It also includes additional information on employment contracts and the age distribution of staff.
In 2024, the report was expanded to include the topics parenthood and academic career, work hours as well as the development of the share of women students and academics.
The Gender Equality Report is an important foundation the active promotion of gender equality at the University of Vienna. The 35 % share of women in professorships (as of January 2024) indicates that progress has been made in recent years.
