2022

March 8, 2022 marks the 111th anniversary of International Women's Day. To mark the occasion, the member organizations of FrauenForum Saarbrücken and institutions, private individuals and associations have put together a diverse and exciting program.
Throughout March, under the title "relevant. resolute. regional", the important issues of our time will be illuminated and discussed in feminist terms. Politics and art, urban planning and homelessness, pornography and global justice, addiction and money, headscarves and self-defense - the topics of the individual events complement each other and highlight social disruptions and approaches to solutions in equal measure.

The program and further information can be found here. 

Organized for BIPoC doctoral students exclusively, the empowerment workshop is led by Dr. Lana Sirri and Loubna Messaoudi. 
The workshop aims to provide a safe space and opportunity for discussion about potential career paths for BIPoC after graduation in NGO and start-up work in Germany. 
The participants will examine the existing structural and systematic hurdles and learn how to navigate them to center their career in diversity and intersectional justice.

N2Women'22 Call for Posters

The 12th N2Women workshop (N2Women'22) will be co-located with
SIGCOMM'22 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in the week of August 22, 2022.

N2Women aims to foster professional networking among women in computer networking and related research fields in which women are traditionally underrepresented. The workshop welcomes women, but also men who share the same research interests and face the same career hurdles. The program of the workshop will include keynotes and discussions on careers in networking, but also technical sessions where, in particular, junior researchers are welcome to present their research as poster presentations.

Posters will not be published and can therefore be under submission to other conferences or workshops. Authors of accepted posters will be required to present their work as part of a lightning presentation
session.

The best poster will be awarded a Best Poster Award and runners-up will receive an honorable mention.

The initiative "Creating a MINT future" is looking for OUTSTANDING BACHELOR AND MASTER'S THESES

The theses (BA/MA) may date back one and a half years and may be written in German or English.

The main prize is €3,000, 2nd place €2,000 and 3rd place €1,000.

Digital leadership - ideas are needed on how managers can translate their employee organization into the digital world in order to control processes in real time using KPIs. The question is: How can "digital leaders" and their employees digitally optimize everyday work processes?

People and IT security - How can technologies be used to minimize sources of error due to the human factor or to react quickly to IT risks?

Helpdesk Monitoring – So-called "low-level" IT incidents are time-consuming: solutions are needed to reduce the number of inquiries that reach the helpdesk team.

Data science in HR, IT, procurement etc. - Data is the key! We are looking for creative minds who enjoy solving cross-departmental use cases in relation to data science.

Digital Upskilling - How can employees be encouraged to take part in IT training courses? How must the training be designed so that the prior knowledge of the employees can be individually linked?

Since 2009 the MPG has been successfully cooperating with “EAF Berlin. Diversity in Leadership” and will be able to offer the “Sign Up! Careerbuilding Program” for excellent female postdocs of the MPG for the 10th time within this framework starting from January 2023.

The aim is to support women with leadership potential in their career planning and to prepare them for management positions in science. It is the MPG´s concern to bring more women into leading positions in science. This Program puts us in a position to promote such talents.

Continuous participation in the Program (in English language) is expected.

The MPG advocates diversity and equality. We welcome explicitly applications regardless of nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age, sexual orientation and identity. In particular, we encourage female candidates with severe disabilities to apply.

Nominations for two different program implementations are possible:

1. Sign Up! For Your Career: earlier postdoc phase
2. Sign Up! For Leadership: advanced postdoc phase (with first leadership experience, e.g. group leader).
