Networking opportunities & exchange

"What I particularly like about the Women Career Service program is the range of topics covered, the networking opportunities and the chance to exchange ideas with women in public administration and academia, which would likely not happen otherwise. For me, the opportunity to learn new things at work is a great source of motivation. It enables me to find or try out unusual solutions in my day-to-day work."

Early-career researcher

Exchange that transcends status groups and fields of work

"I learned about the Women Career Service’s offerings through participating in the Frames Mentoring Program. I especially like that many of these opportunities allow me to continue engaging with Frames in terms of content and also give me the chance to reconnect with existing participants and meet new ones. I also really appreciate that these opportunities facilitate an exchange that transcends status groups and fields of work, something which I have rarely experienced at university so far, but which I find extremely valuable."
