Equal Opportunity

An important objective of NCCR QSIT is to create an atmosphere where female researchers feel welcomed and part of every process, such as decision-making, research, presentation of results etc. Every QSIT researcher should feel appreciated for her or his contribution.

Our strategy focuses on two major goals:

1. Try to attract more young women to start a career in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering or quantum information theory.

• INSPIRE Potentials QSIT Master Internship Award
• MINT teaching unit: "Vom Doppelspalt zum Quantencomputer"
• external pageETH4Kidscall_made

2. Try to keep female scientists in the pipeline of a scientific career
