STEM Passion - A Journey Inspired by Women in Science

Despite the fact, that women face higher barriers in science, they represent an important driving force for scientific progress in STEM disciplines. The exhibition STEM Passion by Elisabetta Citterio and Claudia Cagliano portraits women in science with different backgrounds and honors their success. 

The opening event wants to celebrate women in science, give them more visibility and encourage to network with each other. We especially invite early- and midcareer women, non-binary, trans* and inter* scientists from all STEM disciplines to join the event. Please register here. 

Welcome by Maike Sander, Scientific Director of the Max Delbrück Center

With portraits from MDC scientists:

  • Maike Sander
  • Mina Gouti
  • Susanne Wolf
  • Michela Serresi

Please note that the event will be held in English.

The exhibition of portraits from 25 international scientists will be open for the public until March 12, 2024.
