Abstract

The Technische Universität München (furthermore: TUM) is about to change its organizational culture in a gender and diversity oriented way. The goal of becoming the most appealing Technical University for women has been on the TUM agenda for 20 years. It was enforced by its Steering Committee in 2004[1]. Thus the university initiated and intensified several measures to reach that goal. These processes will be described in this paper. The overall aim is to reach gender equality in the career opportunities of scientists and engineers. This will cause a paradigm change in engineering education and engineering culture. Crucial points are the integration of gender issues throughout education and in all fields of research. Furthermore, TUM strives at increasing the numbers of female engineering scientists.
