Support programmes for young female scientists

UNIFY advises and informs young female scientists about research funding programmes offered by Heidelberg University, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts, and other science funding institutions that are specifically aimed at women.

A support programme for female scientists with families enables them to resume or continue their qualifications even with children. Others are aimed at outstanding female scientists who are pursuing a career in higher education.
