The presentation will start at 10:00 in the MPI-CBG auditorium. Afterwards, there will be tours through the building: See the 2,500 fish tanks and a life sample of an axolotl!
Ask your questions: What is it like to be a scientist? Can you do research and have a family?

Girls’ Day, an initiative of the Federal Ministries for Education and Research (BMBF), and for Family Affairs, the Elderly, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ), was designed to motivate and encourage particularly girls to seize their career options and to decide in favour of a qualified vocational training or degree. Subsequently, they choose an occupation even in professional fields that are presently not typically female.
