The “Angewandte Mentoring-Programm” serves as an advancement strategy to promote equal opportunities at the university. It aims to address the decreasing proportion of women across career trajectories as their qualifications increase (from studying to becoming professors) and to support motivated early-career artist and researchers in the strategic planning of their career and their development by fostering exchange with experienced international artists and researchers.
