Female Scholar Program at WU

The Female Scholar Program (FSP), founded by Prof. Dr. Klarner in 2017, is a university-wide program for Ph.D. students, Postdocs and Junior Faculty at the Vienna University of Economics and Business.

In the coming years, we will invite a number of top female scholars to WU to share their insights and lessons learned in speeches, workshops, and informal events. Established female scholars will therefore share their knowledge and experience with future female scholars.

Our female scholars will discuss topics such as

  • academic career planning

  • building an international academic network

  • managing career changes

  • international differences in academic careers

  • mastering challenges along different career phases

  • managing a pipeline of research projects

  • mastering work-life balance in academia

Junior female scholars at WU will have many opportunities to discuss important questions and personal issues with experts and build an academic network for research visits, research cooperation, and possible placements or appointments.

   
Our FSP network includes junior female scholars from the following institutions:

  • Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Austria

  • University of Geneva, Switzerland

  • University of St.Gallen, Switzerland

  • WHU, Germany
