Focus group discussion

A focus group discussion entitled Women in Mathematics: challenges and opportunities in Germany will take place on Friday, 9 June 2017, from 14–16 h. The event, organized by Maria Infusino (Konstanz) and Andrea Nickel (Bielefeld), will consist of an informal discussion about the state of women in mathematics in Germany with a particular focus on the challenges they are experiencing in their career paths and on the concrete actions which are or might be taken towards gender equality in mathematics. After some special contributions by Sara Azzali (Potsdam), Salma Kuhlmann (Konstanz) and Maria Rupprecht (Heidelberg) the discussion will be run in groups of participants at the same academic stage and then proceed in a collective debate.
