At DTU, we are committed to creating inclusive and secure work and study environments where all students and employees have equal opportunities to participate, contribute, and thrive. Joining the Sunflower Programme is a natural extension of these ambitions.
Dean of Sustainability, Diversity, Inclusion and Talent Development, Camilla Rygaard-Hjalsted says:
“At DTU, we are dedicated to working on diversity, equality and inclusion. It is the right thing to do, and essential for a modern and ambitious university where we want to attract and retain talented students and staff,” and continues:
“When we at DTU join the Sunflower Programme as a university, it is just one of the ways in which the university takes responsibility for strengthening inclusion and a sense of security in our study environments and communities. Everyone must have equal opportunities and equal access to contribute. This is the foundation of our success.”
Beyond raising awareness of hidden disabilities and supporting students and staff, the sunflower symbol reinforces the expectation that everyone at DTU demonstrates patience and consideration towards colleagues and fellow students — regardless of whether they wear a Sunflower lanyard.
