The September Science Academy was a big success and a great experience. 31 talented women in their PhD or Postdoc from all over the world came to the MPI-TM for 3 days full of science, workshops and networking. #Genderequality is not about favoring women - it’s about empowering them 💪.

Tomorrow our September Science Academy will start. Looking forward to three days full of science, networking and workshops. I wish all our national and international guests a safe trip to Marburg. See you all tomorrow morning 😊
