Dual vocational training is a central pillar of the German labour market and makes a significant contribution to securing skilled workers. Improved cooperation between learning venues can not only improve the quality of training, but also increase the attractiveness of dual training - an important factor in view of the increasing shortage of skilled labour.

The interim results of the independent historical study funded by the Archdiocese of Paderborn, which researchers at Paderborn University have been conducting since the beginning of 2020, have already caused outrage: the church and society have systematically looked the other way in cases of abuse and in several cases even condoned the offences.

8 March is International Women's Day. Established in 1911, there have been a number of developments since then, particularly in gender studies. Some things have been achieved, but there is still room for improvement in other areas. In the news - for example in the USA - developments are emerging that are thwarting efforts to achieve equality and undoing what has already been achieved.
Paderborn University once again impressed with its gender equality concept in the second selection round of the nationwide programme for female professors and was also one of a total of 12 universities to be awarded the title "University with strong gender equality".
Paderborn University has been honoured with the "HR Excellence in Research Award". With this award, the European Commission recognises universities and research institutions that systematically work to improve the working conditions of their scientists.
