The kick-off event of the Female Scientists Network at HTWK Leipzig impressed with an inspiring keynote, a motivating panel discussion, and plenty of time for networking.
Under the motto "Together, from each other, for each other - Empowerment³," the Female Scientists Network launched its inaugural event on 10.04.2024 at HTWK Leipzig. As a key milestone for university-wide networking and visibility of female scientists at all career levels, the event contributed to further strengthening equal opportunities and diversity at the university.
With the call "Women, be brave, network, and seek allies," Professor Graßmann (MDC, Berlin) also advocated for mutual empowerment in her keynote. Under the theme "Empowering Excellence: Women in the Scientific Network," she invited participants to proactively pursue their next career goals and to actively tackle the challenges of a scientific career. The guests could learn about the realities of everyday life in the scientific context at HTWK Leipzig and the different perspectives and experiences on the topic of scientific career plans during the panel discussion with (junior) scientists from HTWK Leipzig.
The kick-off event concluded in a relaxed atmosphere with a cozy get-together, where guests could network and reflect on the day.
