HYPATIA - Network for equality in the subjects of mathematics and computer science
About HYPATIA
HYPATIA is the equal opportunities network of the Department of Mathematics/Computer Science. Our aim is to promote and network young female scientists and to jointly create a scientific environment that is more diverse, open and family-friendly.
Although the proportion of female students in mathematics is initially high, it decreases significantly over the course of an academic career - particularly at doctoral and professorial level. HYPATIA aims to make these developments visible and actively contribute to improvements.
Who is HYPATIA for?
HYPATIA is aimed at all members of the department - regardless of gender. In particular, we want to support female students, doctoral candidates and postdocs in finding their place in the mathematical community and finding their own path in science.our goal is not a separate space, but a common one: we want to promote understanding, enable dialog and strengthen diversity in the mathematical community.

PromoWie
We present "PromoWie", the brochure that has been developed over the past few months by the Hypatia Network for Gender Equality at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. The project was financed by the financial fund for the implementation of the University of Cologne's statutory equal opportunities mandate.
The aim of the brochure is to give students, especially female students, a clear and accessible insight into the path to a doctorate and everyday life as a doctoral student. In addition to basic information on organizational aspects, the brochure contains personal experience reports and interviews with doctoral candidates from our department and beyond.
With PromoWie, we want to offer orientation, reduce inhibitions and help to make diverse perspectives on doctoral studies visible - especially for students who have had less contact with the topic of "doing a doctorate" so far.
