Target Group
Invited are female students from all study fields of TU Darmstadt. Especially welcome are students from STEM fields (= science, technology, engineering and mathematics), as very few women study in these fields and at the same time many have an intercultural background.
Mentoring
- Female students (mentees) are accompanied on an individual basis over a period of nine months by a female advanced student or doctoral student (mentor).
- They gain support in all matters concerning the organisation of their studies as well as an easier introduction to the university structures.
- At the start of the project, mentees and mentors are given an introduction on the effective shaping of the mentoring relationship.
Networking
- Regular group meetings
- Exchanging of experiences and networking
- Networking evening with working women from science and business
Training
- Various workshops on reflection and the development of intercultural skills
- Support for applications for scholarships, internships and part-time work
