Inspiring Change: Proven Strategies to Empower Women in Science

In today's scientific landscape, promoting an integrational approach of work and life is a critical challenge. The success of Immunic Therapeutics, where women represent 75 percent of the scientists and employees hail from 26 countries, provides valuable insights for other organizations looking to recruit and retain women in scientific leadership roles. Chief scientific officer Hella Kohlhof, PhD, will detail the steps she takes to support women in the workplace.

Attendees will also learn about key initiatives to prioritize work-life balance, equal pay, and other well-received measures, including flexible policies, equal treatment initiatives, and a commitment to breaking gender stereotypes in hiring practices. Case studies highlighting the impact of female role models will provide additional actionable strategies to inspire, replicate success, and foster gender diversity in participants' own organizations. Join us to learn from Hella’s journey and explore practical solutions for creating inclusive and supportive environments for women in scientific leadership roles.
