The PRoProf project, in cooperation with the Equal Opportunities Office of Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, is organising the film screening of Picture a Scientist - Women of Science on Tuesday, 17 March 2026, at 6 pm . Following the film screening at the WOW! Wissensort Wolfenbüttel (approx. 19:45) will be followed by an open discussion and discussion round on site (until approx. 21:00), in which participants can exchange ideas with each other, but also with professors from Ostfalia on the subject of the film.
The film Picture a Scientist - Women of Science is an impressive documentary film that addresses the still omnipresent disadvantages (discrimination, sexism and racism) of women in science and thus ultimately also the career path to becoming a professor. "Picture a Scientist" impressively shows that equality in science is not yet a matter of course. The film makes structural hurdles visible and offers an important opportunity to discuss how we can make science fairer as a university," says Julia Weiß, Equal Opportunities Officer at Ostfalia.
All those interested in the topic of women in science, both inside and outside the university, are cordially invited to attend.
The event will take place at the WOW! Wissensort Wolfenbüttel, followed by a discussion round (admission from 17:30, including snacks and drinks). Online participation via BigBlueButton is possible (film screening only, without subsequent discussion).
