„Durchstarten. Von der Promotion zur Professur“ ("Taking off. From doctorate to professorship") is designed to support outstanding female doctoral students at the University of Münster who are doing their doctorate outside of structured programmes or large third-party funded networks and to encourage them to pursue an academic career. In particular, women with family responsibilities and women who face particular challenges due to their social or ethnic background are to be encouraged to choose science as a career.
The programme offers information on career planning, presenting yourself in an academic context, networking and balancing family and career in the form of workshops, lunch lectures and group supervision. A supporting programme completes the programme, which runs over two semesters and also serves as a networking opportunity.
