Ausrichtung der Network Gender & STEM Conference 2022

20 Juni 2022

Prof. Bernhard Ertl und Kristina Manicke, Professur für Erziehungswissenschaft, mit dem Schwerpunkt: Lernen und Lehren mit Medien, haben bei der DFG Mittel für die Network Gender & STEM Conference 2022 erfolgreich eingeworben.

Laufzeit: 01.01.2022 - 23.09.2022
Fördergeber: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft e. V. (DFG) - Internationale wissenschaftliche Veranstaltungen

The 2022 Network conference will bring together researchers, educators, policy makers, business and industry representatives, and the public to interrogate personal and contextual influences towards, or away from, diverse STEM pathways across stages and settings. The specific theme of Sticking with STEM: Who comes, who stays, who goes, and why? points to individual and organizational factors as well as their interaction in the career development process of the STEM workforce. Both perspectives—that of the individual with a basic interest in STEM and that of organizations such as schools and companies that are the nourishing ground for STEM motivations—contribute to the individual’s career development. What characterizes individuals coming into STEM, who persists and who leaves STEM, and which organizational aspects contribute? How can diversity at the workplace motivate pursuit and persistence in a STEM career?
