Welcome to FIONA - Supporting Women in Science and Technology!
FIONA ist das Sprungbrett für Frauen, die in die aufregende Welt der Technik eintauchen wollen! An der haben wir ein vielfältiges Programm entwickelt, das Frauen auf ihrem Weg in technische Studiengänge begleitet und sie entlang ihres Studienverlaufs unterstützt.
Our project is aimed at all girls and women who are ready to dive into the world of technology and achieve great things. We aim not only to encourage women to choose technical courses but also to raise awareness of their incredible opportunities!
With FIONA, we aim not only to support women in technical professions but also to advance the world of technology. Join us and be part of this exciting journey!
Die genauen Projekte und Termine werden in Kürze hier veröffentlicht!
Assistance with topic selection for the VWA and dissertations
The first step of a dissertation is choosing a topic that reflects your interests and motivates you throughout the entire process.
But how do you actually find a suitable topic? Does it have to be a stroke of genius? And in what environment can I think creatively? How can we use our past experiences and knowledge to delve into the world of technology? These and other questions will be addressed in our workshop. We will use creativity techniques to generate ideas that can lead to new topics. These methods enable us to rethink familiar concepts in innovative ways and integrate them with technical aspects.
Building on an initial creative workshop, accompanying coaching sessions for dissertations will cover topics such as literature review, research design, source work, as well as analysis and interpretation of results. The first coaching cycle will commence in summer 2024 with a selected school. For interest in the next year, please get in touch.

Support with mathematical tasks and problem-solving
Mathematics is a part of every technical study programme and often poses an initial challenge. Mathematical concepts build upon foundations from school, so it's crucial to master these well.
We offer an online course on mathematical basics such as powers, terms and term transformations, solving equations, functions and their properties. The topics are explained in small portions using examples, e.g. through videos, interactive slides, etc., and interactive resources are provided to encourage independent practice.
Additionally, there are learning cafés where students can exchange ideas. Moreover, senior students and experienced instructors will answer questions on mathematical tasks and explain the backgrounds of mathematical problem statements.
FIONA Connect is a regular networking event held four times a year, specifically designed for female students in technical study programmes. These meetings provide an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, establish valuable connections, and learn from inspiring testimonials.
What can you expect at FIONA Connect?
Events scheduled for 2024:
Each meeting takes place from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM at FH CAMPUS 02. The exact rooms will be announced in due course.

As part of a digital platform, female students have the opportunity to clarify questions on technical topics. Additionally, information about studying at FH CAMPUS 02 (studying with children, funding opportunities, etc.) is provided. The platform enables quick and straightforward resolution of queries and promotes exchange among female students in technical studies.
The mentoring programme aims to connect female students across departments and year groups. To this end, a mentor from a higher semester will support a first-year student with various issues. In this way, initial contacts can be made and an exchange of knowledge facilitated.
Our "Get Together" gatherings are special events aimed at women interested in technology. These meetings provide a great opportunity for female students of FH CAMPUS 02 to connect in a supportive and inspiring environment.
What are the Get Together meetings?
The "Get Together" meetings are regularly occurring events where female students of our university are invited to meet and participate together in the event.
What can you expect?
In addition to events hosted by our university, we regularly invite you to external events to provide you with an even greater variety of opportunities and experiences. Each event offers you the chance to learn new skills, gain insights into various technical areas, and expand your professional networks.
