doctora - Supporting women on their way into science

Doctoral orientation

We want to encourage women to consider a career in science and, if appropriate, to pursue a doctorate.

To this end, we offer regular workshops and individual counselling.

Support for female doctoral students

We provide female doctoral candidates with individual support tailored to their needs.

To this end, we first assess their needs in a personal consultation. Together, we plan the next steps to provide the best possible support. We can assist in the search for suitable mentors or offer small-scale financial support.

Networking

We regularly organise meetings for female doctoral students to enable them to network and establish supportive contacts.

We will inform you in advance of planned meetings by email.

New and interested female doctoral students are advised to register directly for the Young Scientist Network or send a short email to Melanie Müller-Mugele or Kristina Epple.

Ursula Ida Lapp-Scholarship

Starting in 2025, a female doctoral candidate from the STEM subjects will be supported as part of the Ursula Ida Lapp Scholarship.

11 February marks the annual International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This day of action recognises the crucial role of women and girls in science and technology, and aims to encourage, promote and support them.

In this context, the Department for Equity and Diversity would like to highlight the achievements of female scientists at Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences: Female scientists at HHN introduce themselves, provide insight into their work and explain their motivations for pursuing a scientific career.
