The Ladies Night for Women in Engineering Sciences turns 10 years old!
Over the last years the Ladies Night has turned into an established event with about 100 interested participants per year which not only presents a diverse and versatile information offer but also gives the opportunity for young female academics to network with established scientists and professionally successful female engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, doctors etc. Besides presentations by role models, workshops and discussions are offered. Strong partners of the event at the OVGU are the Office for Equal Opportunities, the Family Office, the department Media, Communication and Marketing and beyond the university the Max Planck Institute (MPI) and the Fraunhofer Institute. The Ladies Night regularly receives support from regional and supra-regional companies in the form of financial and content contributions. The Collaborative Research Center (SFB) “Bulk Reaction“ at the OVGU has been supporting the event since 2021. In 2020 the three contributing institutes (OVGU, MPI, Fraunhofer) started giving out a poster award for young female scientists to acknowledge their achievements during their Bachelor and Master degrees.
The next event will be held in the week from April 19th through 22nd in a hybrid format primarily through Zoom. To register please send an email to ladiesnight@ovgu.de. The login information for the Zoom meeting will be shared will the enrollees.
