Just in time for spring our newsletter "Focus on Fairness" is going into its second round. This
edition focuses on offers and events taking place during the summer semester: with lectures
and workshops on the topic of equal opportunity. In addition, we look at mentoring and
coaching programmes of Heidelberg University, while also taking a peek at offers from other
universities on the subject – maybe there are some ideas that we might put into practice
together?
Do you have any questions, suggestions and wishes? We are looking forward to your feedback.
We hope you enjoy the read,
Lena Esplá and Agnes Speck
