Mind the Gap: Ensure gender-neutral funding and empower women in STEM professions!

Although the proportion of women in STEM professions is increasing, there is still an enormous amount of untapped female potential. The reasons for this are often well-known, such as a shorter involvement in working life due to part-time jobs and parental leave, a lack of knowledge regarding the prospects of all these professional fields, possibly also a lack of courage to take up one of these professions and many more. However, the credo must be: break down old role stereotypes, offer opportunities, utilize talents, play a decisive role in shaping the future. On this panel, we would like to discuss the possibilities, measures and the elimination of social disruptive factors that could bring a greater proportion of women into STEM professions in the future. Michael Ernst (Co-Founder SHEconomy) will discuss this: Johanna Pirker (Professor of Computer Science, LMU & TU Graz), Ulla Kruhse-Lehtonen (Co-Founder & CEO DAIN Studios), Christina Wilfinger (CEO SAP Austria), Klaus Grössinger (Managing Director Onsight Ventures), Brigitte Bach (Board Member Salzburg AG) and Leni Lauritsch (Film Director & Screenwriter).
