Review of the summer university 2023
We look back on the 15th International Summer University for Women in Engineering. The Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni took place at the University of Bremen in Germany from 16th to 31st August 2023.
Our thanks…
As organizer team we give special thanks to our lecturers for their teaching with full engagement and collegiality.
Many thanks to all participants, who travelled to Bremen and enriched the summer university with lively discussion and networking.
We are especially pleased, that some grants could be given for the stay in Bremen. Thank you so much to our sponsors who again supported us to realize some core elements of personal encounter for participants and lecturers.
Last but not least we want to thank our student assistants in Bremen. Without you, we would not have been able to realize the summer university.
Our look back…
Some 50 courses in Computer Science, ICT, and Informatics were offered to women students in computing studies as well as to practitioners in the field. Students from other subjects got to know basic ICT and interdisciplinary course topics. There were basic, special and interdisciplinary course topics as well as course offers concerning studies, jobs and careers. On place in Bremen, lecturers and participants could visit an extensive social program.
See more information in detail:
- Overview of courses and social program at summer universities 2023.
- Read all about the social events here. (pdf 3.3 MB)
Additionally again, we arranged a smaller ‘meantime’ online course program during the whole year 2023.
We as organizers hope to comply with needs of lecturers and participants, as well as to strengthen again the core elements of teaching and learning with physical, personal meeting.
The women´s network Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni and its sister Informatica Feminale is a place to exchange about technical and social developments, which we meet in our every-day life and which are designed by ourselves as technical experts. The Summer Universities want to give space and time for critical reflections and highly welcomes experimental debates on the relations of technological knowledge and developments in societies. We especially offer teaching, which deal with applications of technical know-how in spaces for work and life (for example within care, education, health, food, household, mobility, social networking, publicity, sports, militarization, etc.) from feminist perspectives.
All, who want to receive information about future Summer Universities, are invited to subscribe to our mailing list. Please send an email to ifis-summerschools@uni-bremen.de.
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 Informatica Feminale. There will be plenty of other opportunities to sponsor.
We invite you all to partcipate and look forward to welcoming you next summer in Bremen!
Greetings
Henrike Illig and Veronika Oechtering
Review of the summer university 2022
Dear Participants, Lecturers, and Friends of the Summer Universities 2022,
we look back on a very special year. For the first time, the Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni was organized in hybrid ways: online from 25 July to 5 August and physically in Bremen from 1 to 14 September 2022. Moreover, a special training program for lecturers about the topics privacy, facilitation, and protection from discrimination in teaching was offered online. On place in Bremen, lecturers and participants could visit an extensive social program.
Our thanks…
As organizer team we give special thanks to our lecturers for their teaching with full engagement and collegiality.
Many thanks to all participants, who enriched the summer university with lively discussion and networking. We are especially pleased, that participants travelled to Bremen despite the many obstacles in 2022. Courses were without fees again and some grants could be given for the stay in Bremen.
Thank you so much to our sponsors who again supported us to realize some core elements of personal encounter for participants and lecturers.
Last but not least we want to thank our student assistants in Bremen. Without you, we would not have been able to realize the summer university.
Our look back…
The year 2022 was the first, to organize the Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni and the “sister” Informatica Feminale in both the formats online and physically in Bremen. Nearly online courses were fully booked. Courses on place in Bremen were taken to smaller extent, presumably because the Corona situation was to worsen further in September. Many courses could realize settings with few students and very intensive learning. We as organizers got the wonderful chance to intensive personal exchange with our guests. In September on place, we could also arrange a general assembly of lecturers and participants and we received many valuable hints for the year 2023.
We are also pleased, that the lecturers again followed with interest our special online training program for them about the topics privacy, facilitation, and protection from discrimination in teaching.
Our preview…
In 2023 we will emphasize the personal encounter and concentrate more on physical courses in Bremen. The summer university will be organized from 16-31 August 2023 at Bremen University. It will be our main activity. Additionally, we will arrange a smaller ‘meantime’ online course program during the whole year. We as organizers hope to comply with needs of lecturers and participants, as well as to strengthen again the core elements of teaching and learning with physical, personal meeting.
We invite you all to partcipate and look forward to welcoming you next summer in Bremen!
Greetings

Archive Part Online Courses 2021
Dear Participants, Lecturers, and Friends of the Summer University 2021,
again as last year, the 13th Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni had to stay online and our plans for courses in Bremen were stopped.
But as always the lecturers were flexible, the students’ echos great, and from July to October, both the summer universities Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni and Informatica Feminale with some 50 courses went ahead. Some course were booked out in hours after publication; others realized settings with few students and very intensive learning. Lecturers sent hardware for experiments to their students; participants organized their own lunch meetings and got happy about virtual networking.
Many thanks to the wonderful lecturers, who participated with full engagement. We are especially pleased, that you followed with interest our special online training program for lecturers about the topics privacy, facilitation, and protection from discrimination in online teaching.
Many thanks also to all the 180 participants for active participation, discussions, comments and criticism, networking and collegiality!
We as organizers have again learnt much about a reasonable design of the Summer University. Some courses with huge practical parts are difficult to realize online. At the same time we will support the wish of those participants, who for different reasons, would never have been able to travel to Bremen. In future, we will arrange weeks with online teaching as well as physical courses in Bremen. Hopefully, both the plans will be realized next year already!
But we miss you all – lecturers and participants – on place in Bremen. No cafeteria, no field trips, no guests. Next year, the 25th Informatica Feminale will be organized – a good reason to celebrate a “real” party.
We invite you all to partcipate and look forward to welcoming you next summer in Bremen!
Greetings

Guided tour through Bremen’s Old town
The city tour through Bremen’s Old town offers city history and stories from the city in one. You will discover the market square – the parlor of Bremen – with its historic buildings (from the outside), the Cathedral yard, the arasac Böttcherstrasse and finally reach the enchanting Schnoor quarter with its medieval flair.
Of course, you will also visit the Bremen Town Musicians, the city’s world-famous ambassadors who once made their way to the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.
Why are the Bremen Town Hall and the Bremen Roland so important that they are both UNESCO World Heritage sites? What do art and decaffeinated coffee in Bremen have to do with each other? And why do the people of Bremen spit on a small black stone at the Cathedral yard? You will get the answers to these and many other exciting questions during the tour.
In between, you will also hear a few stories about famous women from Bremen and pass buildings in which famous women played and sall play a role today. For example, the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum in Böttcherstrasse is the first museum in the world dedicated to a female arast.
Look forward to exciting stories and secrets!
