From November 20th to 22nd, 2024, over 200 scholarship grantees from 45 countries, supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, visited several departments and chairs at Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen. One of the highlights was the visit to the Chair of Science, Technology, and Gender Studies on November 21st. In an open, international, and scientific environment, researchers from a wide range of disciplines came together to present their ongoing research, all supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Members of the Chair of Science, Technology, and Gender Studies also shared their latest research, including work from the ERC Project “Living with Radiation.” The event program is available here along with a short film showcasing the day.
