The travelling exhibition “Hauptstadt der Wissenschaftlerinnen” presents influential female researchers and scientists in Berlin. Pioneers in their field, they paved the way for others. At Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin this too allowed for poweful changes. The travelling exhibition highlights women in science and research and honors their work.
Initiated by former mayor of Berlin Michael Müller, realised by the Berlin Institute of Health and supported by countless active citizens, the project could first be presented on 19 October 2021 at Festsaal of the Rotes Rathaus. Since then the intitiative has been actively presenting 22 important female researchers at Berlin’s universities.
