Gender Equality Office (GSB)

SelmaMeyerMentoring

Women are still underrepresented in leadership positions. In order to create more diversity, SelmaMeyerMentoring has been supporting young female scientists on their career paths since 2006. More than 500 women have already gone through one of the program lines SelmaMeyerWISS,SelmaMeyerMED+ or SelmaMeyerPROF, which are aimed at female doctoral students, postdocs and habilitation candidates. Many of the mentees have already been successful in obtaining professorships or management positions. There is also a mentoring program in English for the international female doctoral students, which helps them to gain an insight and contacts into the local structures and scientific networks much more quickly.

MINT@hhu

MINT stands for mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology - a field in which there are too few skilled workers and in which hardly any women work.
MINT@hhu supports female students and graduates through activities that promote equality in mathematical and scientific subjects.

"Career Talk. Alumni report." is one of the formats of the MINT@hhu network. Former female graduates talk about their own experiences with their studies and their first professional successes.

This project/measure is part of the equal opportunity work of Heinrich Heine University.

Our Heine-Women and Heine-Men 2020

Encourager meets trailblazer, meets determined woman on a mission: For 12 years, HHU has been honoring Heine women and, since 2018, Heine men as well. Those who - sometimes quietly, sometimes audibly - stand up above all for equal rights and equal opportunities for their fellow human beings. In very different areas, always with an alert eye and remarkable success. This project is part of the equality work of Heinrich Heine University.
