Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I)

What does DE&I mean?

Recognizing and accepting differences among people, promoting diversity, equity & inclusion (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion), are becoming – in today’s higher education – key aspects of shaping the working and learning environment.

We refer to this approach aimed at harnessing the potential inherent in the differences among members of an organization as Diversity Management.

Equal treatment and anti-discrimination team

At WUEB, we have an Equal Treatment and Anti-Discrimination Team. It was established in order to:

initiate and implement activities for the dissemination of
implementation of the ideas of equality, diversity, tolerance
respect and protection of human rights

in relation to the entire academic community and its environment.

In particular, it is about developing strategies, policies and programs to create an inclusive organizational culture in which everyone will be respected, valued, treated with dignity. At the initiative of the Team on April 11, 2022. WUEB, represented by the Rector, prof. dr hab. Andrzej Kaleta and pro-rectors, signed the Diversity Charter.

The Diversity Charter is an international initiative implemented in 26 countries of the European Union.
In Poland it has been present since 2012. Signing the Diversity Charter is a manifestation of the realization of the key values of the UEW, such as:

Community
Truth
Freedom
Responsibility
Modernity
Excellence
Entrepreneurship

By becoming a signatory to the Charter, the Wrocław Uniwesitu of Economic and Bussiness committed itself to:

Create and promote solutions to ensure diversity in the working and learning environment,
to take measures for social cohesion and equality,
Countering discrimination, bullying and harassment phenomena at the university,
conducting a dialogue with employees on the diversity management policy adopted,
Annual reporting on the measures taken and their practical results.
