What does an information scientist have to do with implants? Which jobs are offered in the field of energy research and nanotechnology? What is the everyday work of a meteorologist or process engineer? Female KIT scientists will present their workplaces to female pupils and answer questions on their jobs on the secondary-school graduate day, Thursday, January 27, 2011, 8.45 hrs, at the Center for Advanced Technological and Environmental Training (FTU), KIT Campus North (Hermann-von-Helmholtz-Platz 1, 76344 Eggenstein-Leopolds-hafen). Registration is still possible.
Female KIT staff members from various disciplines will provide female pupils with direct insight in the work of scientists and engineers at a research institution. By presentations and during a question time, the researchers will report about their professional development as well as about daily routine work. Moreover, they will open the doors to their laboratories, research facilities, and offices. The participants are able to choose among twenty workplace visits. Scientific topics range from energy stores like lithium ion batteries to turbulence measurements in the atmosphere to numerical safety calculations.
The information day addresses interested female pupils in grades 10 and higher. It is organized by the Organization of Female Scientists at KIT (WiKIT) in cooperation with the KIT Equal Opportunities Commissioner.
