Workshops and Coaching for Women
Symposium: Diversity in research and talent promotes excellence in science, September 25, 2024
15:00 – 18:00
BMC, Small lecture Hall N040.042
Grosshaderner Str. 9, 82152 Planegg-Martinsried
“Diversity, Identity and Fate at Biomedical Frontiers” alludes to different definitions of “diversity” relevant to science. Research at the Biomedical Center
investigates the diversity, individuality and adaptability of cells. At the same time, we are committed to promote collaboration, diversity and scientific integrity within our scientific community.
With this symposium we want to spotlight that scientific excellence can best be achieved with broad academic and cultural backgrounds, as well as multi-faceted lifestyles of the researchers that do the work. To recognize this diversity we invite 3 renowned Munich scientists to present their research and to share insights into experiences and challenges met during their scientific careers. Meet-the-speaker sessions following the talks will provide opportunities for questions and open discussion. The program continues with an informal get-together.
All are welcome! Join us for this opportunity to network and exchange on exciting research as well as diversity in science – the topic that unites researchers from all cultures and at all stages of their careers.
Registration is required for catering and meet-the-speaker session. See more.

I beg to differ! Debate training toward awareness for gender related topics
November 23-24, 2023, in-person in the BMC (room t.b.a.)
The debate training aims to raise awareness of equality issues by arousing the participants' interest: By addressing the issues in the argumentation training and in various debate topics, participants succeed in dealing with the topic of equality on an intuitively accessible level. The participants are thus sensitized to the topic of equality and re-evaluate its relevance for their everyday (work) lives. In addition, the participants train their argumentative and rhetorical skills. The debate training thus promotes the culture of debate.

Women and Careers
Friday, November 18, 2016 from 9:00-17:00
(room N01.012, BMC, Großhaderner Str. 9, Martinsried)
This workshop was offered to all women scientists in the SFB 1064.
"Since a few decades the rights of women and working women in particular have changed dramatically. But does this also translate into a world full of possibilities or are we still stuck in the process of climbing the various ladders under the glass roof? This seminar will give you guidance on how to navigate your life as a working female scientist." (excerpt from the project description on the NaturalScience Careers website)
Trainer: Dr.Karin Bodewits, Advanced Training Programme-XX (ATP-XX)
