Women's network Faculty of Science initiated

Recently a Women in FNWI (WiF) network has been initiated within our faculty. Among the objectives of this network are to provide a forum for women to regularly meet and to work with the university administration to achieve a more balanced man/women representation among the scientific positions of this faculty.

To promote the scientific work of women in the FNWI, an annual 'Best Publication Prize' has been launched. More information about this prize can be found at the bottom of this message. We encourage candidates and academic staff to submit publications that fit with the terms before February 1, 2008. The winner will receive a 500 Euro prize during the annual WiF network day (March / April 2008), and deliver a prize lecture in a final session of the day open to the entire FNWI community.
