Ladies Night for Women in Engineering Sciences
The next Ladies Night for Women in Engineering Science is coming
soon. The initiative is part of an Otto von Guericke University
Magdeburg (OVGU) effort 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 in 2012, as the FVST Ladies Night and began with
approximately 20 participants.
Today, in cooperation with several
organizations, such as the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS), 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.
The event is primarily targeted at female students, PhD candidates, and
young scientists in the engineering field of the MINT disciplines.
Female speakers will present short lectures on how they themselves can
be successful in their profession and in their self-efficacy without
losing out on work-life balance.
A career market enables
participants to receive information on career paths and funding
opportunities within the university environment. In parallel, a small
job fair offers the opportunity to gain direct contact information to
companies, therefore becoming acquainted with various non-university
career paths. In a subsequent panel discussion on "Prospects for Young
Scientists", the panel’s participants’ personal experiences and
impressions can be evaluated.
