Steering Committee of the Executive Women’s Initiative
The current steering committee was voted into office in July 2022. It consists of Junior Group Leader Dr. Angela Goncalves, Group Leader Dr. Marieke Essers and the head of the DKFZ Career Service and Alumni Relations, Dr. Barbara Janssens.
Angela wants to focus on female mentorship and leadership; highlighting alternatives to a "classic male leadership style" and inclusion of new measures for scientific success.
Marieke wants to keep the impact of Covid on women on the agenda; It is an inherently women-related topic and we need to focus on the female perspective of consequences of the pandemic.
Barbara wants to focus on female mentorship and leadership; Programs aimed at female junior group leaders need clarity and to be coordinated.
