Support for teaching in the STEM* field

*STEM = Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences and Technology As part of the measures to promote equality, a female tutor project was set up for the mathematics department in 2009. This was expanded in 2019 and female tutors for STEM subjects can now be deployed and funded. The aim is to get young women from the STEM subjects more interested in teaching and to introduce them to research at an early stage. The female tutors are thus to be supported and strengthened in their personal development. As "role models," they will encourage schoolgirls and (future) female students to follow a similar path...

Who is sponsored?

All institutes and departments in the STEM field can apply for appropriate funding. This applies to Faculties 1, 2, 3 and 6.
