Excellence Strategy

Science & Career Talks

The University is dedicated to promoting equality and equal opportunities for all genders.
With the Science & Career Talks series, the University is intensifying its gender equality activities as part of the Excellence Strategy by inviting experienced and successful female scientists to Tübingen. They present their research in a public talk and provide insights into their discipline-specific individual experiences in a workshop, thus offering early-career researchers at the University of Tübingen the opportunity to meet senior scientists as role models and to become inspired by their work and career.

Role Models wanted
