The focus of the Women’s International Leadership Conference are women in diplomacy and politics as well as women in STEM professions.

A livestream can be followed on both days. Participation is free of charge, registration is requested for both days.

There will be two panel discussions again this year. Among them are employees of the Schaeffler Group, one of the world's best-known automotive companies. They will report on the company's approach to gender equality in a male-dominated industry. Furthermore, members of the Zonta Club, an international organization that promotes equal access to education will be present. Susanne von Bassewitz and Ute Scholz will speak about the impact of academia on women's career opportunities in both politics and STEM subjects.

In addition, participants will be able to exchange ideas and network in small groups in between the speeches. "We are very pleased that we have been able to attract so many experts to our event and are looking forward to their contributions and interesting discussions," says main organizer Salma El Atassi.
