🎊 International Womens Day 2025. We shared stories from MPI-IE #WomenInSTEM – highlighting their work & career challenges. More important than ever to create space where everyone is supported, regardless of gender, ethnicity, beliefs, abilities or identity. www.ie-freiburg.mpg.de/women-in-sci...

International Women's Day! We are committed to equality, diversity, inclusion, and equity. Let's create a space where everyone is respected and supported, regardless of gender, ethnicity, beliefs, abilities, age, or identity.

Role models play a crucial role in inspiring the next generation of female scientists. Stories of contemporary women who are leading the way in their respective fields serve as powerful motivators for young girls. In celebration of the International Women’s Day, we aim to showcase our female staff members. Our belief is strong in the power of role models; we understand that showcasing successful women in science encourages more women to pursue scientific careers.

Through a series of interviews, we've delved into their journeys into science, exploring what drives their passion for working in this field and detailing the work they currently undertake in our labs.
