How does Germany support female researchers in planning their careers in the German academic system? Learn more about the efforts to increase the proportion of women through tailored support for international female researchers in the video below. And if you are also still looking for career and funding options, be sure to take a look at our current calls.

Also in this issue: Forschungszentrum Jülich will operate Europe's first exascale computer from 2023. Find out in our news section how many zeros it takes to write out its computing power of over 1 trillion operations per second – would you have known?

How Germany promotes female researchers

Research careers
Germany is constantly working to eliminate remaining structural disadvantages for female researchers. The Mentoring Program for International Female Scholars run by the University of Cologne is only one of many successful support programmes with which Germany aims to increase the proportion of women in the country's scientific landscape.
