Women Peer Mentoring Program 2024 – quarterly workshop

The program includes one workshop per quarter to boost participates’ soft skills to the next level and prepares them in an optimal way for the next step in their careers. Topics for workshops in 2025 will be discussed with participants and will be scheduled throughout the program.

The first workshop will be on Nov 25-27, 2024 on the topic of leadership. The aim of this 2.5-day workshop is to provide women early career researchers with effective tools for actively stepping up into a 360° leadership position – i.e., leading in all directions (upward, downward, and lateral as well as oneself). One core focus of this workshop lies on how (formal or informal) leaders can create a fruitful team environment for innovation to become possible. Apart from preparing for a senior leader’s role inside or outside science, this workshop shows how early-career researchers can already step up and lead in a visionary way. The workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Insa Flachsbarth.
