Women in STEM Network

Moving forward together: Networks often make the difference.
Whether before or during your studies, in research or when starting your career – those who network find support, inspiration, and new perspectives. This is exactly where the support for women in STEM comes in: we connect women in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology (STEM), strengthen their visibility, and accompany them on their journey.

More women in STEM. More opportunities for everyone.

At the Executive Support Unit for Diversity and Gender Equality, we are committed to making women in these fields visible, connected, and empowered – during their studies, in research, and throughout their career paths.

What We Do

We support, connect, and make visible. Concretely, this means:

Valuable exchange and networking opportunities within and beyond the university
