Applications can be submitted up to March 15, 2021 by the associated university.

The programme aims for female researchers at the universities of Halle-Wittenberg, Jena and Leipzig who seek a professorship at a German university and who were awarded their doctorate at least 2 years ago.

It focusses on one-to-one-Mentoring which is provided by male and female professors from the other universities. Moreover, the programme is accompanied by workshops for key qualifications concerning career development and an exclusive access to an interdisciplinary peer-network.
