Berlin University Alliance

is a strategic initiative of the Berlin University Alliance, consisting of ca. 300 researchers and practicioners that are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable academic environment. It addresses discriminatory structures, advances diversity studies, and promotes gender equality to enhance research quality and integrity.

Through interdisciplinary and international collaboration, DiGENet engages in events, working groups and an international guest programme. Our events connect researchers, practitioners, and institutional leaders to share research, exchange experiences, and build networks. Our working groups address specific challenges in diversity, equity, and inclusion, while our international guests contribute best practices and global perspectives.

Closely linked with the Audre Lorde Visiting Professorship for Intersectional Diversity Studies, DiGENet integrates perspectives from the Global South and supports the DiGENet research groups that close data gaps through empirical studies. Together, these activities aim to embed diversity and inclusion as core dimensions of academic excellence and transform research culture across the BUA.
