== Project #1 - A Platform for Women in STEM at TUHH ==
Women represent only 35% of the global STEM workforce and just 28% of STEM students at TUHH.
In STEM fields , women often face societal stereotypes, isolation, lack of mentorship, and gender bias in education and the workforce.
This project aims to close the gender gap in STEM at TUHH by creating a platform that fosters a digital and physical community for female students and faculty in STEM. The platform will centralize resources and offer peer-to-peer support, mentorship opportunities, and collaboration to enhance the educational experience for women at TUHH.
The initiative will include offerings such as study groups, chatrooms, networking events, coaching workshops, and inspirational talks. By connecting female students to existing tools and initiatives, the platform will empower them to pursue leadership roles in what is currently a male-dominated environment.
Other universities in Germany, like RWTH Aachen and TU Dortmund, have already developed innovative tools to empower women, such as the CHEFIN project, which supports female students on their path to leadership roles.
