• Where will my next career step take me?
• How do I prepare myself for the challenges in research, teaching and management?
• Can I lead a team?
• How do I negotiate my next job? Which social media platform is suitable for my research?

The 12-month qualification and networking program, which starts in April 2026, addresses these and many other questions. All female scientists in the postdoc phase can apply.

It supports female scientists across disciplines, particularly in acquiring interdisciplinary skills through a variety of workshops, keynote speeches, networking meetings and coaching sessions. The opportunity for individual advice is also part of the program.
