We have set ourselves the goal of enhancing your visibility and networking opportunities at our university. In doing so, we aim to offer you inspiring exchanges, programme formats tailored to your needs, and support with your career planning.
Our network is open to all women, non-binary, trans, intersex and agender people, as well as alumnae of HTWK Leipzig, and offers you a valuable platform for sharing experiences, mentoring and advancing your career opportunities. We strive to create an inclusive network that moves away from a binary view of gender and considers various forms of structural discrimination in an intersectional manner.
We are committed to diversity, equal opportunities and empowerment, and invite you to grow with us and help shape the network. You are all warmly invited to get in touch with us with your wishes and ideas.
