Career Support - Training for female* scientists

Develop leadership skills


The current changes in higher education lead to extended qualification requirements for female scientists on their way to a professorship. In this context, special importance must be attached to the preparation for leadership tasks: even before the appointment, it is often necessary, in addition to the classical requirements in research and teaching, to manage projects, to build up working groups and to lead employees or to act professionally in conflict-prone situations.

Shaping promotion processes


The change of status in science is associated with a variety of transitional situations and thus risks of exclusion. It is particularly important for female scientists to reflect on the possibilities of successful advancement against the background of their own life situation, to acquire the necessary skills, to move strategically in the relevant networks and to position themselves with high visibility.

Expanding career strategies


Embarking on a career in science is not a foregone conclusion. In addition to the ability to innovate scientifically and specialist expertise, remaining in science and academia for the long term, working in research and teaching, requires the systematic development of career strategies, dealing with different options, prioritizing them and strategically planning the next career steps. Assertiveness and resilience are an advantage here.
