With the WiRe - Women in Research Fellowship programme, the University of Münster supports international postdoctoral  women researchers in conducting research projects in cooperation with professors at our university. The programme's goals include attracting and retaining outstanding international early-career researchers, as well as providing targeted support to female researchers at the critical postdoctoral stage. A particular focus of the programme lies on science communication: fellows receive training in effective science communication and are involved in various activities and formats to make their research findings accessible to a broad audience.

The programme was initiated by the Department of Researchers & Staff at the International Office and is being implemented and further developed here.

The mipri project represents an important contribution by the University of Münster toward building a network of national and international actors involved in peace research and peace work. In the first round of funding, the project released a call for peace research proposals and awarded the first “Münster Peace Prize”. In addition, a digital citizen science platform (PeaceHUB) will continue to promote exchange between members of the research community and interested citizens. The Researchers & Staff department of the International Office is responsible for overall coordination.
