EMPOWER.ING

The network for women

Women empower women: The new global network for TU Hamburg women aims to inspire, motivate and empower. We want to make alumnae role models visible, promote the exchange of women in STEM professions and discuss equal opportunities, women in leadership, entrepreneurship or work-life balance. All female alumnae, students, scientists, employees and supporters of the TU Hamburg can participate.

The founding event with a lecture by Marion Knaths "Games with power - how to communicate successfully" took place virtually on March 16, 2021. Lectures and also Lunch Talks will be offered at regular intervals, initially digitally.

Current events can be found on our Events page.

At the second Sparkling Thursday, we were guests of Jasmin Jestel, project engineer at EnBW AG. Our two alumnae Annelie Giesbrecht and Henriette Porten showed us how important topics such as retirement provision, capital accumulation and financing issues are, especially for women, in view of the gender pay gap. A lively exchange, empowerment and networking also characterized this evening.
