Within the framework of the Joint Initiative for Research and Innovation, the Helmholtz Association is intensifying its efforts to attract and fund excellent women scientists – especially from abroad – to top positions. The current concept of the Initiative and Networking Fund (2017–2020) aims to support these efforts through the first-time professorial appointment program (W2/W3) for women scientists who are at an early stage in their careers and demonstrate outstanding scientific performance.
