Workshop 1
Women & Career
12 April 2018, 9:30 am - 5:30 pm, SR V, building 99
Outline
Since a few decades the rights of women and in particular of working women have changed dramatically. But does this also translate into a world full of possibilities or are we still stuck in the process of climbing the various ladders under the glass roof? You will learn more about internal and external factors that have influence in various stages of your career, whether you are in a job or in the process of application. Finding your work-life balance will be a topic as well as expectations towards a (family-friendly) work environment. This seminar will give you guidance on how to navigate your life as a working female scientist. Using different techniques, it will be adjusted to the needs of the participants and leaves room to cover the requested topics.
The trainer
Phillip Gramlich studied chemistry in Munich and Sydney. During his PhD, he joined a project team, whose work led to the foundation of baseclick GmbH by BASF Venture Capital. After some exciting experiences during the pre-founding and founding phases of this company, he went to Edinburgh for a postdoc. Overall, his 11 scientific publications add up to >1200 citations (Researchgate).
Philipp then left academic research to join Eurofins Genomics for five years, working as team leader (mainly in part-time), eventually being responsible for 22 staff in three teams. In parallel, he co-founded NaturalScience.Careers, where he is focussing on leadership training, career starters, coaching and business development.
Phillip is one of just a few men working on gender topics in Germany. For him, Geschlechterkampf (battle of the sexes) was yesterday. Gender equality is not a zero-sum game (take from men and give to women) but a vital building block for a more flexible, fair and efficient working culture.
