25th German Female Physicists' Conference
Die Physikerinnen
We are pleased to celebrate together with you the 25th German Female Physicists' Conference online from November 8 to 10, 2021 and invite you to a scientific meeting. The target group of the digital event is female physicists from various disciplines and career stages - from students to professors, from interns to industrial physicists in top management - and all interested persons.
The scientific focus of the meeting will be the research foci of the collaborative research centers SFB 1242 "Non-equilibrium Dynamics of Condensed Matter in the Time Domain" (University of Duisburg-Essen) and SFB/TRR 270 "Hysteresis design of magnetic materials for efficient energy conversion" (Technical University of Darmstadt and University of Duisburg-Essen) established by the German Research Foundation. We want to present these as well as related topics to all from the field as well as to a broad, interested audience. We have invited national and international, female scientists who will introduce their field of research in their talks and who will be available to their audience for discussions and exchange.
Scientific conferences thrive on scientific exchange and we are pleased to give you the opportunity to present yourself and your own work - across all disciplines of physics - at the poster session during our conference. You are also welcome to apply for one of the contributed talks with your poster.
In addition to this scientific program, we also invite you to our social program. Parallel to the stream of Scientific Talks, there will be a thematic broad workshop stream.

Workshop for women in physics
The conference will take place from 05.11. to 7.11. in a reduced program completely virtual.
Dear physicists, dear people interested in equal opportunity and diversity,
We have now opened the registration for the ONLINE female physicists' conference 2020. You can register at https://www.conferences.uni-hamburg.de/event/126/overview The conference will take place from 05.11. to 7.11. in a reduced program completely virtual. Of course we want to give you the (virtual) stage as usual to present your research projects. You can do this at our Science Slam on Saturday evening, at our Poster Session on Saturday afternoon, or at a lecture in one of the parallel sessions. This should give room for contributions by participants with a bachelor's degree or higher and before reaching the doctoral level. You can already register for this at the registration and additionally hand in the abstract for the lecture or poster at https://www.conferences.uni-hamburg.de/event/126/overview. If you decide to participate actively in the Science Slam, you can attend the workshop "Science Slam" with Anna Bartling. In addition to selected plenary lectures, we will also try to let the core aspect of networking take place in virtual coffee breaks, which we will organize. You can inform yourself about the other workshops and all further program points on our homepage: https://www.physik.uni-hamburg.de/physikerinnentagung2020
All participants who register by 4 October and live in Germany will also receive a conference package from us.
We hope that, despite the virtual conference, there will be something for everyone in this varied program and look forward to receiving numerous submissions.

VII EPS Forum Physics and Society
"Getting the Diversity Balance Right in Physics" organised by the European Physical Society in collaboration with the Institute of Physics in London.
The VII Forum will focus on the perennial problem that is faced by many member countries, namely the lack of girls studying physics beyond age 18 and the lack of women working, particularly at the higher levels, in physics related careers.
Broadening topics:
1. How different is the diversity problem in physics across Europe?
2. How can employers gain business advantage by recruiting and retaining a more diverse workforce?
3. How can informal learning encourage under represented groups to study physics?
4. How important are families and schools in supporting under represented groups into physics careers?
Discussion of recommendations of good practice to share across EPS member institutions.
