Por­traits of fe­male sci­ent­ists

The aim of the programme is to give you, as a participant, a differentiated picture of what it means to become a female doctoral researcher. As a so-called mentee, you will have the opportunity during the programme to get to know the path, life, work and person of a female scientist and, for example, to have a targeted discussion or interview with a professor, post-doctoral candidate or doctoral candidate. Perhaps their scientific path will arouse curiosity, perhaps it will amaze, perhaps this path is a possible role model. Based on her interviews, a final-year student wrote a portrait in the form of a poetry slam text. This can be found here.

Further interesting portraits of female scientists can be found on the pages shown.

This portrait book about the female professors at Paderborn University was produced as part of the university's 40th anniversary celebrations.
