Promoting initiatives for equal opportunities 

Lund University promotes initiatives for equal opportunities at the University by means such as invitations to apply for targeted funding. This is done through two initiatives: Financing of a visiting professor of the underrepresented gender and funding for systematic preventive work against discrimination and for equal opportunities.

Funding for visiting professors of the underrepresented gender

The University sets aside funding to stimulate work in support of gender equality and equal opportunities, which will be used, among other things, to promote a more even gender distribution among the university's professors. The faculties and the university´s specialised centres (USV) are hereby invited to apply for funds to finance fixed-term appointments of visiting professors of the underrepresented gender.

A visiting professor of the underrepresented gender shall be made possible to be a role model for employees and students by participating in the research environment, teach at different levels and contributing to the faculty's work with gender equality and equal opportunities.

Application

Applications for visiting professors of underrepresented gender are now open, the deadline for applications is 30 May 2025.
