Equality Slam of the University of Bremen

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the University, the Equal Opportunities Office invites you to the first Equality Slam of the University of Bremen on 29 October 2021.
In this modified form of a poetry slam, the focus is on the topic of (in)equality at universities and in science. Experience women* spoken word poets, women* slammers and comediennes* from Bremen and beyond who will slam for and against everything that has always been burning under their nails: Stereotypes, role clichés, hurdles and obstacles on the way to university and through science. With their contributions, they want to inspire, impress, excite or make you think. The award-winning comedienne, actress and Youtuber Idil Baydar alias Jilet Ayşe will lead through the programme.

Seats in the Schwankhalle are rare due to the corona pandemic. We are therefore also offering a live stream of the event. Tickets for the event in the Schwankhalle and for the online live stream will go on sale on 1.10.2021 via: link

The symposium aims to attract young scientists with inspiring lectures, plenary discussions and a career fair where young researchers can explore different career options and establish important contacts to promote their career path. With this symposium, we primarily want to address female scientists, but men are also welcome to join the discussions and learn about different career pathways.

EVENT

Culture and Careers in Physics

This event is organized by the EU-funded GENERA project coordinated by DESY. It addresses all scientists, PhDs, equal opportunity officers as well as administrative and line managers of physics-oriented institutes. 

Within thematic workshops, attendees will identify what exactly distinguishes physics culture in Germany. Challenges and requirements in future high-quality science shall be discussed. Special emphasis shall be placed on innovative solutions to remedy the underrepresentation of women in physics and change the culture towards mixed research teams.

The organizers are looking forward to a strong participation from all areas of physics, especially colleagues from the management level. 

The language of the event will be English. Registration is obligatory, participation is free of charge. Detailed information is provided at the DESY website.
