Gender perspectives in mathematics, information sciences, natural sciences and technology: The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has granted the joint project "Gendering MINT digital - Actively Shaping Open Science" with about 840,000 euros in funding. The Center for Anthropology and Gender Studies (ZAG) at the University of Freiburg is coordinating the project. The Centre for Transdisciplinary Gender Studies (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) as well as the Faculty Media and Information at the University of Applied Sciences in Offenburg are also involved in the project. Starting December 1, 2017, the project is slated to run for three years. "Our common goal is to strengthen gender skills in MINT in order to contribute to the cultural shift in research and teaching in these disciplines and to promote equal opportunities," reports ZAG coordinator Dr. Marion Mangelsdorf.
