The Ladies’ Night for Women in Engineering Sciences is part of an OVGU lecture series to support young female scientists with a focus on women’s career paths. The event was initially brought to life by the Faculty of Process and Systems Engineering (FVST) and the Student Council of the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (OVGU) in 2012 as the FVST Ladies’ Night and began with approximately 20 participants.
Today, the Ladies’ Night for Women in Engineering Sciences accompanies
the Career Day for Women in Life Sciences, which has been taking place
annually in Magdeburg at the medical faculty and the Leibniz Institute
since 2014, with contributions from the engineering field of the MINT
subjects offered at the OVGU.
