Highlight of the month
Launch of the new mentoring programme "Perspectives. Paths into science" programme
Mentoring meets art: on 18 September 2025, a ceremonial handover of the baton took place at the Schlaues Haus. While the mentees and mentors of the mentoring programme "Progressio. Successfully shaping top positions in science" bid farewell, we welcomed ten new mentees to the programme „Perspectives. Paths into Science”. This year's special feature: a mini-exhibition of wooden sculptures adorned the event. Thanks to the kind support of UGO, the two strands of the Helene Lange Mentoring Programme are now adorned with logos of two wooden sculptures by artist Maren Panke.
