<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>due to the increasing incidence numbers here in Germany we have
decided to postpone the WiMR workshop. It will instead be held in
summer 2023 in conjunction with the conference GEM 2023. Call for
papers and conference and workshop details will be posted here,
and on our website <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://for2812.rub.de">https://for2812.rub.de</a>, once they have been
finalized. <br>
</p>
<p>We look forward to greeting you here in Bochum, Germany in 2023
and apologize for any inconvenience caused. <br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>
</p>

senior female university researchers in our field (in Germany)
lies between 21% and 29%. Our goal is to increase these numbers!
So come and learn what an academic career looks like at the Ruhr
University Bochum and discover its advantages. You'll be
introduced to the university and it's support structures, be
able to participate in university wide programs, meet with
female faculty, listen to some amazing scientific talks, present
your research, and see what collaborative research looks like in
the RUB memory research community.</p>
