Sponsorship – your part of change!

From 14-29 August 2024 the 16th International Summer University for Women in Engineering, Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni, will be held by University of Bremen.

Sponsoring “Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni” at the University of Bremen provides opportunities

  • for personally establishing contacts with women students and professionals in engineering,
  • for broadening your scholarship programs with dedicated women students,
  • for demonstrating equal opportunities and diversity within your company,
  • for presenting your programs for women managers,
  • for introducing your technical products and services,
  • for winning new women employees.

Every year 200-250 women students and professionals in engineering from national and international universities and colleges take part in the summer university at University of Bremen. With more than fifteen years of experience the Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni presents a successful forum for exchanging the latest technical knowledge and networking internationally.

Companies with gender-sensible organizational concepts and successful personal management strategies to promote women engineers to a broad spectrum of leading positions are invited to present their best practices to the participants of Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni. Together with students, lecturers and women experts, we seek to discuss different perspectives.

Concurrently, we are offering multiple possibilities for sponsoring:
