Should you have any questions or problems relating to your application, please feel free to get in touch with the Equal Opportunities Committee (EOC) or to make an appointment with the EOC's office.

Job interviews

Upon request, the EOC may sit in on interview sessions, including job interviews, hearings, and assessment centers.

In all types of interview settings, discriminatory questions (e.g. concerning family planning) are to be avoided.

The evaluation of applicants may not include selection or assessment criteria that has not been mentioned in the job offer.

Employment decision

Should the EOC have reason to believe that a university governing body’s decision reflects discrimination on the grounds of an individual’s sex, ethnic origin, religion, belief, age, or sexual orientation, it may invoke the arbitration commission within three weeks of the decision.

The arbitration commission is to decide within three months whether or not the university governing body’s decision constitutes an act of discrimination. Should this be the case, the university governing body is obliged to make a new personnel decision having regard to the legal opinion of the commission. The selection process is suspended until the ruling of the arbitration commission.
