Anti-discrimination is often discussed on the premise that everyone's tasks are fulfilled on equal terms and that the university provides a neutral environment for this. However, as human beings, we differ in so many ways that many potential conflicts will still persist, including as a result of our different cultural assumptions and conditions.

[The Federal Equal Treatment Act](https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/GeltendeFassung.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&Gesetzesnummer=10008858) [*Bundes-Gleichbehandlungsgesetz*] and the internal [agreement on respectful conduct and anti-discrimination in the workplace](https://www.tuwien.at/index.php?eID=dms&s=4&path=Betriebsvereinbarungen/Partnerschaftliches%20Verhalten%20und%20Antidiskriminierung.pdf) (only in german) set out the legal framework conditions at TU Wien. Their implementation is a regular topic of discussion.
