Dear WIA-E members,

we’re pleased to inform you of an upcoming WIA-E Cologne event on the 14th of February at 5 p.m. in the :envihab at the DLR premises.

Prof. Dorothee Dzwonnek, former head of the German Research Foundation, will give a short presentation (in German) and will discuss with us, how she (and women in general) could reach one of the top management positions in Germany. Although she has not a career in the aerospace sector, we can profit from her experience in the business in general. We’re very pleased that we will have her on the 14th of February and we hope you will join. Please do not hesitate to bring qestions (in German/English) you would like to ask her, as this event will  be interactive.

Furthermore, the institute of Aerospace Medicine will give us the opportunity to see the :envihab facility. If you would like to join this tour, please let us know. You will meet Friederike Wütscher (our tour guide) in the :envihab foyer (prior to the talk) at 4pm!

It will be a unique opportunity to talk to a woman like Prof Dzwonnek and to meet other women from the aerospace sector from the Cologne region. Please make use of this event in order to look beyond one’s own nose and to get in touch and stay in touch with others!

We encourage you to share this information with your colleagues, friends and trainees who want to participate, and are open to questions if you need access to the DLR premises.

Hope to see you soon.
