Follow-up report: Workshop “Women & Career”

In September together with CNATM and SFBTRR267 we organized the workshop "Women & Career: Build a career on your own terms"

Cluster

The workshop was based on the premise that there is no universal blueprint for a successful academic career as career goals, family plans and experiences differ. Rather than following a fixed programme, the content was tailored to participants' interests.

The session focused on career visibility and networking, combining parenthood with an academic career and decision-making as well as building confidence and resilience.
