panel discussion: PhD- what’s next? Paths into science and industry

On 06.02.2024, we organized a panel discussion on the topic of career paths with six guests from science and business. The guests included female professors from the University of Osnabrück and Aachen as well as women working in science management and a leading IT company.

In the discussion round, we had the opportunity to talk to the female managers and scientists about their professional careers and possible career paths. We talked about possible hurdles, stays abroad, networking, compatibility with personal goals and much more. All kinds of questions were allowed and a great open and familiar atmosphere was created in which everyone felt comfortable.

It was very exciting for the audience to experience in which directions a PhD can lead and which branches can lead into science and business, and everyone also gained a deeper insight into female CVs with their specific career hurdles and opportunities.

The event was supported by the UOS Equal Opportunities Office as part of the Federal and State Women Professors Program.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and made the event such a success. We are very much looking forward to repeating such an event very soon!

"Steady as You Go! Navigating Challenges and Building Resilience in Science Communication" with Julie Stearns

On November 28-29, a 2-days workshop targeting Doctoral candidates and Postdocs who seek skills and tools to deal with challenging situations in academia and to develop awareness techniques for improved communication in various contexts. (Poster)
We would like to let you know you that the workshop went very well. We received many tools for maintaining our stance in discussions and presentation situations, engaging in an inspiring and enriching exchange with each other and ourselves. Thank you for your participation and the fascinating and honest input from the participants!

Thank you for the successful kick-off workshop

On May 10, we kicked off our EmpowerMINT FB6 network with a workshop at Theater Bielefeld. Together with eight young women from our department, we explored our presence and self-perception. We even ventured into the world of improvisation! In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, we got to know each other better and discovered new aspects of ourselves. We all left with exciting insights and a few exercises to enhance our daily lives. We want to express our gratitude for your courage, ideas, motivation, and openness to engage and contribute. It was a fantastic start, and we are already looking forward to our next event with all of you!
