Connectionists: Women in Memory Research - Workshop - March 7-9, 2022

[Vinita Samarasinghe]

In conjunction with International Women's Day the FOR 2812 is organising 
its first “*Women in Memory Research*” event from *March 7-9, 2022.*

The percentage of 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.

Sounds exciting?

*Who can apply:*Female master’s students in their final year of study 
and recently graduated master’s students who are looking into an 
academic career in the area of memory research/neuroscience. Applicants 
must have excellent grades and be able to communicate in English. 
Selection of participants is competitive. We only have space for 12 
participants!

*How to apply:*Send your application including a one page letter of 
motivation, a current CV, master’s transcripts and a letter of
