Female Empowerment

A reflective workshop on navigating challenges, claiming space, and building supportive networks in academic careers

Date & Time: Tuesday, 16th December 2025; 09:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Format: in-person

Target group: all scientific staff

Group size: max. 12 persons

The goal

Even though diversity efforts and measures have increased over the last decades, women in academia remain underrepresented in leading positions. This seminar offers a space for women to critically reflect on their position within academic structures, explore leadership on their own terms, and build supportive connections. Based on current research, the workshop acknowledges systemic barriers while focusing on practical strategies for visibility and allyship.

The guiding questions

What are the structural and cultural reasons behind the underrepresentation of women in academic leadership?
How can I craft my identity as a leader while encountering biases and competing demands?
How can we support one another and create cultures of solidarity and allyship across roles and identities?

The implementation

This seminar is designed as a safe, interactive, and dialogue-based space. It combines evidence-based input with personal reflection and peer exchange.
