Every two years, the University of Münster awards a 20,000-euro prize of its own to honour innovative, internal projects and measures promoting equal opportunity for both women and men. The prize is presented by the Rector to individual staff, groups of staff, working areas, facilities, departments or faculties of the University.
Female junior researchers at the University of Münster can apply for individual funding through the University’s Programme for the Advancement of Women to help pay for career advancement measures. In particular, this applies to financial support to offset the cost of participating in academic congresses and conferences. With this funding instrument, the University promotes essential, peer-level networking of female junior researchers, and thereby improves their international visibility and reputation in the scientific community.
