BeWISE - Women in Science and Engineering 2026
The three-day, English-language conference will take place from April 15 to April 17, 2026 in Dresden and offers various workshops and coaching opportunities. In discussions with successful female professors, female researchers can learn more about their paths into academia. The conference is aimed at female researchers in the qualification phase of participating DFG-coordinated programs. Remaining places can be allocated to other female researchers at TU Dresden. In order to give male researchers the opportunity to actively participate, we are offering a workshop specially designed for men on the third day of the conference.
