In CEWS' anniversary year 2025, the latest CEWS ranking of higher education institutions by gender equality aspects shows that Berlin remains at the top, while Bremen has entered the top group in the state comparison for the first time. New for 2025: Thanks to a revised methodology, all universities now have the opportunity – and the incentive – to enter the top group.
The CEWS ranking is an established tool for gender monitoring. It provides information on the development of gender distribution at individual higher education institutions and highlights gender equality trends at the state level. This gives university administrators, university management, gender equality officers, ministries, and politicians a basis for comparing the gender equality performance of individual universities nationwide.
