Open programme

The Open Programme is open to all female1 researchers at Leuphana University of Lüneburg. With a range of formats and topics, it complements the professional development opportunities offered through our mentoring programmes, ProViae and ProScience. Alongside professional development, the events foster networking and exchange across disciplines.

Please note that the Open Programme also includes events offered by other units at Leuphana, such as the Graduate School or Academic Staff Development. These events are not specifically designed for female1 researchers, but are open to all early-career researchers.

Some topics and formats benefit from a protected setting in which participants share similar levels of prior knowledge and have comparable experiences. Before registering for an individual event, please check whether you meet the target group specified for that event.

1Events organized by the mentoring team are funded by the German federal and state governments as part of their efforts to increase the representation of women in academia. In our implementation, we recognize diverse gender identities. We therefore welcome all individuals who identify as women and/or beyond binary gender categories.
