On 23.4.2021, the eighth certificate course of the Academy Hypatia took place. We are pleased that despite the adverse circumstances, numerous students took the opportunity to learn about the opportunities of an academic career. In addition to Professor Rolf Henke, Professor Ekkard Brinksmeier and Dr. Phong Bui, who provided insights into individual career paths, Dr. Thorsten Merl spoke on the topic of Gender & Diversity.
