Osnabrück University, founded in 1974, has built up an outstanding reputation over the past five decades - regionally, nationally and internationally. Its research strengths include membrane biology, comparative law, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and migration research. These areas of research and teaching at the highest level are embedded in a comprehensive scientific canon of numerous other disciplines. The research results achieved here flow directly into a highly qualified academic education in the form of "research-based learning".

From 2015 to 2023, the Equal Opportunity Office provided support for academic, professional, and career development, as well as talent promotion, through the  MentUOS Mentoring Program. This program was aimed at female students as well as intersex and non-binary students. In this important area, the Equal Opportunity Office intends to increasingly adopt an intersectional perspective and changes its offer from an exclusive mentoring program to a multifaceted and broad empowerment program for students.
