Kick-off event: Networking for mothers* in science – How do you do it? (March 25, 2025)
What do you think when you hear the word “compatibility”? How do you feel as a mother in science? What hurdles do you face, what successes have you been able to celebrate? And how do you manage the daily balancing act between the different roles? We would like to discuss these and other questions, network and strengthen each other. Because none of us has to go through this alone!
An event organized by the pilot project Motherhood and Science in the FEM POWER Vision project.
- 25.3.25 13:00-14:00 online
- Please note: the event will take place in German.

[gender*bildet] Writing week for scientists with gender-related issues (March 3-7, 2025)
What is the goal?
Focused writing time – community and exchange – feedback and support
The gender*bildet writing week offers academics with gender-related issues the opportunity to devote themselves intensively to a writing project as part of their qualification or research – be it a dissertation or habilitation, an abstract, an article or a research proposal. The centrepiece is the focused writing time together, which not only promotes productivity, but also enables students to be mindful of their own resources. In addition, individual writing coaching offers targeted support for specific challenges and helps to develop customised solutions. Participants are invited to withdraw from everyday life for a week and devote themselves entirely to their research work. They can write undisturbed, exchange ideas and find support in a concentrated environment far away from the university and the world of work.
An intensive week to write on your PhD thesis or research project

[FSU Jena] Close the gap (September 16, 2024 | online)
“Close the gap: Wie können Geschlechteraspekte stärker in der Forschung berücksichtigt werden?”
Onlinediskussion mit Prof. Dr. Oliver Werz und Prof. Dr. Anna Kipp
Moderation: Dr. Michael Wutzler
online von 16-17 Uhr
Die Dominanz männlicher Perspektiven hat auch in der Wissenschaft dazu geführt, dass geschlechterspezifische Daten in vielen Bereichen der Forschung und der Gesellschaft unzureichend erfasst sind: Sei es bspw. bei der Wirkung von Medikamenten, den Arten der Fortbewegung, bei Sicherheitstechnologien oder der Altersvorsorge. Dabei führt Gendersensibilität zu einer höheren wissenschaftlichen Qualität und präziseren Ergebnissen, die auch in der Praxis zu besseren Anwendungen führen. Nicht zuletzt trägt gendersensible Forschung zu einer gleichstellungsorientierten gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung bei. Dahingehend hat sich in den letzten Jahren einiges getan.
Dieser Workshop findet im Rahmen der Postdocs Appreciation Week 2024 (PAW) statt.
