Target group

➡️ Why is the Female Scientists Network only for women*?

HTWK Leipzig is the second-largest university of applied sciences in Saxony and makes a significant contribution to the training of professionals and leaders for the region and beyond. However, women*, especially in STEM subjects, are still significantly underrepresented. The reasons for this often have structural causes. Therefore, promoting equal opportunities and diversity at HTWK Leipzig is a cross-sectional task of the entire university and is further advanced through the project Science Careers: Promoting Careers. Recruiting Talent. A central goal of the project is to establish a university-wide networking and qualification program for female scientists at all career stages, making role models visible and successfully promoting individual careers. This is specifically implemented and reinforced by the Female Scientists Network.

➡️ Who is included under women*?

The Female Scientists Network and its program formats are aimed at promoting female talents. This includes all individuals who identify as women*.
