At the symposium “What women research – a scientific kaleidoscope”, female scientists who are at the beginning of their careers will be presenting their research fields and current research findings. The Maria Gräfin von Linden prize will be awarded as part of this event. This prize was announced in 2019 and applies to the categories life science and humanities/social science. With this prize, the Verband Baden-Württembergischer Wissenschaftlerinnen (VBWW) honors outstanding female academics who presented the best lecture in their category.
