Barbara Legrum at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics (Barbara.Legrum@mpibp-frankfurt.mpg.de)
set up the network Minerva - FemmeNet in 2001 to channel the
experience of former graduates of the Max Planck Society to the
benefit of young female scientists. Thanks to the participation
of further Max Planck Institutes, this network has expanded in
the last few years. The successful concept is open to all female
junior scientists at the Max Planck Society.
A cooperation agreement with the Mentoring Network for Women in
Engineering and Natural Sciences enables women from the area of
natural science and technology, on the basis of annual mentoring
programmes, to qualify in mentoring, training, and networking,
and to gain all the skills required to be successfully equipped
for the workplace. Participants can attend workshops and
seminars to improve and bolster their professional abilities and
social skills.
A further cooperation agreement with the mentoring network MuT (Mentoring
und Training) is geared towards highly qualified female
scientists working on their postdoctoral lecturing
qualifications. It helps them to both recognise and realise
their leadership skills, thus being able to maximise their
career potential.
Mentoring in Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft http://www.uni-hannover.de/gleichstellungsbuero/mentoring/ Mentoring für Frauen an der Universität Hannover ist ein wissenschaftlich begleitetes Programm, das Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen (Absolventinnen, Doktorandinnen und Habilitandinnen) eine Chance bietet, ihre Qualifikationen in der Praxis einzusetzen. Im Tandem mit einer Mentorin oder einem Mentor und im Netzwerk mit anderen Mentees wird ihnen so der Weg auch in Spitzenfunktionen geebnet. Zahlreiche Veranstaltungen bieten zusätzliche Möglichkeiten zum Gedankenaustausch und zu aktiver Karriereplanung – nicht nur für die Mentees. Switzerland
Also within the framework of the Federal Programme for Equality, the University of Lucerne offers a Swiss-wide electronic mentor search for "E-mentoring" for women in academic professions. European Women in Mathematics Mentoring Project The web site links undergraduates, graduate students, recent PhDs, and junior academic staff with a mentor, male or female. Here a mentor is a more experienced academic who has volunteered to act as an informal advisor on issues such as careers, applying for grants, balancing family and career and gender issues in the workplace. The mentor's aim is to advance the educational and personal growth of the mentee. Matching is based on common interests in careers in academia or industry, mathematical education, balance of career and family, or general mathematical interests. You will also find links on this web site to information about jobs in mathematics, about mentoring in general, to biographies of women working in mathematics and gender policies in the EU.
