****************************************************************

Dear all MD Guest Professors, Speakers, Guests, High School Students, Exhibitors, School Labs, Storytellers and Musicians!

We enjoyed all these amazing scientific talks, the exceptional first-hand insights into the career as a scientist, the intense discussions and exchange, the experiment courses & speed-dating and the fantastic personal stories.

Thank you very much for making this conference so personal and intense!

*REGISTRATION CLOSED*

 

Join MDC! Top-level scientific talks, personal (career) perspectives, exchange of experiences, and networking

*OPEN TO EVERYONE*

The "Mildred Dresselhaus Guest Professorship Conference" (MDC) will gather the excellent "Mildred Dresselhaus Guest Professors" as well as experts in the field of equal opportunity, diversity and careers in science.

Throughout her professional life Mildred Dresselhaus (1930 - 2017), highly decorated professor of physics and electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), engaged herself in improving the opportunities for women in natural sciences. She was, and still is, a true role model for a huge variety of young scientists in natural sciences, encouraging each and every one of them to pursue their scientific path and to make it to true excellence in science. The "Mildred Dresselhaus Guest Professorship Program", which was installed by CUI (a cluster of ecxellence at Universität Hamburg) honors outstanding female natural scientists who are leading in their field of science.

MDC will follow the spirit of Mildred Dresselhaus and the “Mildred Dresselhaus Guest Professorship Program” to combine scientific excellence with a conscious and creative take on career choices and the importance of diversity in the culture of science. The conference aims to serve as a platform for (young) scientists, offering top-level scientific talks, personal perspectives on how to succeed as a scientist in research, and state-of-the-art contributions on topics of diversity, equal opportunity, and the culture of natural sciences.

In addition, MDC will offer practical trainings on top-notch methods applied in natural sciences, an inspiring evening-program that gets you on stage, presenting your own story, and a broad and exciting program for high school students encouraging them to follow and discover their interest in science and research.

Moreover, there will be the opportunity to meet fellow scientists and network with inspiring role models - all this on Campus Bahrenfeld in Hamburg, one of the world's most exciting research sites that brings together brilliant light sources with highly trained international scientists and an appropriate laboratory infrastructure to foster top-class knowledge in physics, chemistry, biology, and life sciences.
