On 28 April 2016, our Institute will be open to interested girls from 10:00-12:00: You will get a chance to work in the lab with MPI-CBG researchers and learn how we work. Also, Girls' Day is a god opportunity to hear about career paths in science from our staff and to ask your questions: What is it like to be a scientist? Can you do research and have a family? There will also be a tour of the building: See zebrafish, worms, and fruit flies, and have a look at the labs and facilities!
You can find further information on this event at the official website at www.girls-day.de. Please also use this website to register online.
Girls’ Day, an initiative of the Federal Ministries for Education and Research (BMBF), and for Family Affairs, the Elderly, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ), was designed to motivate and encourage particularly girls to seize their career options and to decide in favour of a qualified vocational training or degree. Subsequently, they choose an occupation even in professional fields that are presently not typically female.
