Female Professors as the Driving Force of Change

Female professors shape leadership practices in science at different levels of action and are increasingly influential in the distribution and design of university power resources and power spaces in their various roles and leadership positions. As designers, actors, and drivers of change, they bring important change impulses to the fields of research, teaching, science management, and employee leadership.

Clarity and Depth

In the context of the 15th cross-university modular "Leadership in Science" training program 2023/24, female professors have the opportunity to professionalize themselves as scientific leaders against the background of innovative, sustainable, gender- and diversity-sensitive leadership concepts. The focus of the training is on practical concepts and practices of sustainable, gender-just and diversity-sensitive leadership, clarifying key positioning and career planning questions, and cross-university networking with colleagues who want to focus on leadership in research, teaching and management.

Calm and Strength

Professionalizing their own leadership practices creates room for new things and allows participants to find peace and strength for focusing on the essentials and the resulting joy of design: it enables the reflection of one's own self-understanding and (leadership) goals in the system and organization, a deep and pragmatic engagement with one's own leadership practice. This includes central questions and challenges of resource-oriented self and employee leadership, visibility strategies and possibilities for conflict prevention and resolution.
