  • The support through exchange in factual topics, advice in career questions and inspiration.
  • Bringing the technical & scientific disciplines closer to young women - high school & high school graduates, female students, lab technicians and young professionals.
  • The creation of a protected space for trustful exchange and respectful learning from each other (e.g. mentoring).
  • Opportunities for further development (career growth).

Further information and details on implementation are set out in the strategy paper.
