Women in Science

"Diversity and variety are key success factors for research, and I strongly believe that women should play an even greater role in shaping progress and change. In this context, we at Forschungszentrum Jülich are committed to making successful female scientists more visible and thus presenting female researchers with role models." Prof. Astrid Lambrecht (Chair of Forschungszentrum Jülich)
