Encouragement to Advance – Training Seminars for Women Scientists

Center of Excellence Women and Science offer Training Seminars for 
Women Scientists

A new programme 'Encouragement to Advance -Training Seminars for Women 
Scientists' intends to empower women scientists within the European 
Research Area (ERA), offering training on  appointment procedures for 
professorships in Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, 
Germany, and the Czech Republic. Trainings encourage mobility and 
supranational careers in research  and higher education.

Seminars are accessible for women scientists from all disciplines, who 
do not yet hold a position  as a (full) professor but are qualified for 
appointments. Women scientists from countries participating in the 7 th 
European RTD framework programme can take part in the programme. 
Participants must  hold a PhD or equivalent degree for four to six 
years, speak English and the national language of the  country they 
wish to work in fluently, and have an understanding of the general 
landscape of academia in the country aimed at.

Each four-day-long seminar provides a surplus of knowledge due to 
international appointment  procedures, supervision of effective 
professorial lectures, and training of how to conduct negotiations  at 
universities committees; examination of application documents; 
individual support in career strategies development and 
career-objectives, as well as finding ones own benefit in an 
international academic landscape. Participants enter a Europe-wide 
network of women scientists subsequent to the  seminar. On the fourth 
day of training information focuses on European dimensions of science 
and  research. Experts give insights on European research policy, 
European Commissions 7 th framework  programme and the European 
Platform of Women Scientist EPWS.

The project Encouragement to Advance – Training Seminars for Women 
Scientists is supported  by the European Commissions 6 th RTD framework 
programme. An overall of 16 seminars, of 14 participants each, are held
