Titel: In Search of Female Role Models
It is quite common to explain the low percentage of female students in STEM fields by pointing to the lack of female role models. In this workshop, I will show you that female role models have always been there. Although many of them did not have the opportunity to pursue careers in science, they inspired us through their passion for activities that were often considered just hobbies — but were they really just hobbies?
The Workshop will be in English.

When: 23 July 2025; 14:15-17:15
