This year, within the German federal and state governments' Excellence Initiative, the IAS established by the Technische Universität München is launching a series of symposiums on topics connected with gender and diversity named after Liesel Beckmann, the first female professor appointed to TU München. On an annual rotation, we will invite experts from different specialist fields to Munich to hold talks on various aspects of this theme, geared to the requirements of a technical university.
This year's conference focuses on the Technical Culture, where traditionally male dominated issues have long since found their way into an emancipated gender awareness. Gender competence is not only an important qualification for students' future career prospects but is also an important asset for the university's executive staff. In technical departments the subject-matter extends far beyond the aspect of equal opportunities for women: whereas in the past hardly a thought was spared for gender specific product development, merchandise specifically customised to women's needs is now commonplace. Which advancements in the automotive industry, for example, can be attributed to the fact that most decisions on the choice of car are made by women? And how do mixed teams need to operate in order to be more successful than research groups traditionally composed of men only? On day 2, following the talks on these and similar topics, you can join in discussion groups with the experts as part of a small workshop project.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
