"Nowadays, technology is still very much associated with male competence": Hurdles for women in science - understanding structures, promoting change
In 2023, the proportion of women among all professors in Germany was less than a third. Although 46% of doctorates were completed by women, their share drops rapidly as they progress in their careers. This is particularly the case in STEM subjects.
In this workshop, we will use the data collected by Professor Ramona Kusche in the project "FioKo - Promotion of women through individual and organizational competencies in education and careers (MINT)" to provide an insight into the structural hurdles for women at universities and especially in the MINT subjects. We then want to work out which (individual) measures can be used to counteract these hurdles and how women can be supported in detail.
Participants will be given the opportunity to discuss personal experiences or case studies from their everyday work in a safe space. The aim is to jointly formulate recommendations for action that can be derived from the discussion. Participation is free of charge. The workshop will be held in German.
The event is particularly aimed at professors, academic staff and those involved in job interviews.
