Advice and support services within and outside the university
Are you at a loss?
Both at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, as well as in Jena and the surrounding area, you will find contact and counselling centres for various situations that can provide you with advice and help. Below you will find a list of various institutions that deal with gender equality issues, including, for example, services for families, meeting centres, advice centres for discrimination situations or help with sexual harassment or domestic violence.
We make no claim to completeness.
The staff at the Equal Opportunities Office will also be pleased to help you find suitable contacts for your concerns.

Networking
Within Friedrich Schiller University Jena, we work closely with the Equal Opportunities Division at the Vice President for Young Academics and Equal Opportunities and the Graduate Academy. Another important cooperation partner for us is the Thuringian Competence Network for Gender Equality (TKG), whose office is located at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena.
Since many issues affecting women at university cannot be resolved at the university level alone, cooperation with higher-level bodies such as the Federal Conference of Equal Opportunities Officers (bukof) and the State Conference (LaKoG) of German universities is a key aspect of our work. We also maintain good contact with the respective equal opportunities officers at Ernst Abbe University, the city of Jena and the Thuringian state government.
Unfortunately, some websites are only available in German. For reasons of completeness, those are still linked here.
