Gender-sensitive organizational culture
Universities as educational institutions need to actively advocate the elimination of asymmetrical gender structures at all hierarchical levels in order to fulfill their socio-political responsibilities. Irrespective of gender, the objective is to allow for professional and personal development of all university employees and students. To this end it is necessary to raise awareness of existing inequalities both within organizations and society in general and to implement comprehensive concepts and measures aimed at promoting gender democracy within universities, and equal opportunities among all members of university communities.

Developing careers and promoting junior talent in a gender-sensitive manner
Certain areas of Austrian Universities are characterized by a conspicuous under-representation of women in senior academic positions. One of the central tasks of gender equality work at universities is therefore represented in the promotion of female researchers' careers. Two main objectives are pursued: supporting individual career paths with concrete initiatives and programs and exposing structural obstacles and their effects on career options within academia.

Controlling, management, university management
Gender equality rests with management, therefore, the aligning of management strategies and central controlling processes with objectives of gender equality represents a central task of an organization. The challenge lies in defining concrete equality goals across all processes, rules, guidelines, target-setting agreements, strategic documents, etc. and in documenting the status quo, in order to subsequently specify and realize suitable measures to meet these targets. It is imperative, to this end, that structures providing support and advice for decision makers challenged with these tasks are established.

Reconciling professional life, family life and lifestyles
Seit der Novelle des Universitätsgesetzes 2002, die im Jänner 2015 in Kraft getreten ist, gilt Vereinbarkeit von Studium oder Beruf mit Betreuungspflichten für Kinder und pflegebedürftige Angehörige als einer der leitenden Grundsätze für die Universitäten bei der Erfüllung ihrer Aufgaben. Das Thema Vereinbarkeit stellt einen der zahlreichen Aspekte von Gleichstellungsarbeit dar. Ausgehend von der gesellschaftlichen Realität, dass Betreuungsaufgaben nach wie vor im überwiegenden Maße von Frauen übernommen werden, verfolgen die unterschiedlichen Maßnahmen in diesem Bereich das Ziel, dadurch entstehende Nachteile in der Karriereentwicklung von Frauen zu adressieren und für das Thema zu sensibilisieren. Karriereentwicklung und Familienaufgaben sollen keinen Widerspruch darstellen.

Integrating gender and diversity dimensions into research
Various attempts to implement issues of gender equality into research and teaching at the universities exist – embodied in particular within the organizational units laid down by Section 19 (2) 7 of the Universities Act (UG) 2002. Integration efforts vary in manner as well as in intensity. In teaching they range from implementing gender aspects into existing courses to interdisciplinary module system, and master’s degree courses in gender studies. In research, relevant questions concern the nature of knowledge produced, the types of theory and methods applied, and the different agents involved. Tailored to the framework requirements of the respective universities, specific measures aid in initiating and monitoring implementation processes, providing tools and information to those involved in the process.
