FRIAS can give you: time to think, stress-free conversations with colleagues,

gap in science. Growing up in East Berlin, I never once felt that gender had
played a role in my education. I was always encouraged to believe that I
could achieve the same, or even more, than my male school, student or PhD
fellows. However, in my function as deputy equal opportunity officer of the
University of Freiburg and as a member of many search committees for new
professorships I know that women in science still face persistent career chal-
lenges. Therefore, I feel the need to contribute to the recruitment of talented
women within the frame of the many different programmes at FRIAS.

Another challenge in the academic year 2017/2018 was (and still is)
the Excellence Strategy of the German government. Two research teams of
the University of Freiburg were invited to submit full proposals for clusters
grounded in the fields of biological signalling and material science. The suc-
5
cess of the University in this Excellence Competition will also have a pivotal
effect on our work at FRIAS. Among other we decided to develop joint
programme formats to increase our attractiveness to international researchers
in the fields of the proposed cluster initiatives. As one of the current deputy
deans at the Faculty of Biology, I will support close contacts between the
FRIAS board of directors and the speakers of the clusters.
It will be also a challenge to attract more experimental scientists to
FRIAS programmes. For example, we are starting a new series of the Natural

challenges of their respective fields with a highly interdisciplinary audience. I
am personally looking forward to participate in these colloquia, and I expect
exciting and inspiring conversations.
In the current 15th issue of FRIAS News you will also find information
on the “Maria Sibylla Merian International Centre for Advanced Studies
in the Humanities and Social Sciences” programme. In the context of this
highly competitive federal grant, FRIAS and the University of Freiburg will
lead a consortium of partners in establishing an Institute for Advanced Stud-
ies at the University of Ghana with a secondary site in Dakar, Senegal.
I hope you will enjoy reading this issue of FRIAS News, and wish you a
very successful New Year!
