Women in Science Day 2023 @ Faculty of Physics

11.02.2023

Science is fascinating, impactful, multifaceted - and female, too! To mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science on February 11, we have compiled photos of female scientists at the Faculty of Physics - from early career scientists to professors - to visualise the diversity, enthusiasm and commitment of women in science.

On February 11, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, some of the numerous skilled, committed and inspiring women working as scientists at the Faculty of Physics present themselves in a multifaceted photo collage with one message for all interested young women and girls, the scientists of the future: Join "Team Science"!

Join "Team Science"!

Women in Science Day @ UNIVIE

Besides our Faculty, the Faculties of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy, Life Sciences, Computer Science, Mathematics and the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science at the University of Vienna as well as the Research Network Data Science @ Uni Vienna are participating in the Women in Science campaign.

Additionally, short interviews were organized on the intranet (u:wiki; UNIVIE-login required).
