“Actively shaping the future, offering great prospects for talents, and moving knowledge – these are our aspirations at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg. Our mission is to get high school students excited about STEM subjects and to prepare women in STEM fields for their professional careers in the best possible way while they are still studying. Target group-specific career development and personality strengthening of female STEM students, for example, as part of FAU’s equal opportunity concept, is also part of the focused strategic fields of action in the area of equal opportunity work. The Femtec Career-Building Programme is an excellent tool to enrich and strengthen our efforts. I am very happy that FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg is part of this innovative and important network.”
