Not much attention has been paid to gender diversity at universities. With the decision of the Constitutional Court to introduce a third gender category in official registeries, the legal basis for people outside the binary was changed. That means that universities have to look even more at specific barriers and exclusion mechanisms inter*, trans and non-binary people have to face in the fields of education and science.

The Diversity at Austrian Universities Network has chosen the topic inter*/trans/non-binary in the context of universities for its third network meeting on April 1, 2019. Discussions included challenges and barriers, legal changes and a good practice example. The meeting was organised by the University of Vienna and addressed equal opportunity commissioners of Austrian universities.
