Diversity & Equity

Mental health

Nearly one in three people is affected by a mental illness. At SimTech, we acknowledge the serious impacts that current global challenges, such as ongoing conflicts, discrimination and racism as well as natural disasters can have on our community members. In order to uphold the principles of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and to break the stigma around Mental Health, SimTech wants to support individuals throughout their work and learning by highlighting opportunities for involvement and education, as well as available resources across the entire university.
