Courses are offered at different levels ranging from introductory courses to basic knowledge and special topics. The one-off registration fee is 40 euros for female students and those not in active employment. For those in employment, the fee is 40 euros per day (if possible). Female students can also apply for travel grants and free childcare is available for the entire duration of the event.

Program with Excursions and Company Contacts

In addition to the specialist events, workshops on professions and careers round off the program. One focus will be on sustainability and the social impact of technologies. Furthermore, companies will introduce themselves and seek contact with motivated female students or new employees. Classes take place in small groups and are led by international university lecturers from academia and industry. Participants can attend several half-week courses and earn certificates of achievement and credit points. The teaching languages are German and English. In addition, excursions to technical companies and cultural institutions offer interesting insights into the State of Bremen and Northwest Germany.
