The president, Professor Angela Ittel, invites all female professors at TU Braunschweig to a network meeting once a semester.
As at many (technical) universities, women are less represented in leadership positions at the TU Braunschweig. Currently, 26% of professorships are held by women. A constructive way to strengthen exchange and visibility and mutual support is the formation of networks. Together with the Central Equal Opportunity Officer Ulrike Wrobel, current topics are addressed in the meetings, followed by the opportunity for interdisciplinary exchange and networking.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Angela Ittel and Ulrike Wrobel at any time (c/o chancen-leitung@tu-braunschweig.de).
The President cordially invites the network Professorinnen@TU to the New Year's Reception and Lunch on 8 January 2024 from 1:15 to 2:45 p.m. in room 117, 1st floor in the Forum building.
The network meeting offers the opportunity for informal exchange and networking across faculty boundaries. In the spirit of TU Braunschweig's efforts to improve its welcoming culture, the President asks all female colleagues appointed in 2022 and 2023 to briefly address the following questions in the introductory round:
"What was helpful when starting at TU Braunschweig?", "Which aspects should be developed further?" and "What has not been given enough space so far?".
The Head of Professional and Personnel Development and the coordinator of the Prof. program will be present to accompany the discussion.
