WiNS – Women in Natural Sciences

WINS Adlershof – a lively and active community

The main idea of this faculty career development program is to give effective support and connect female early career level scientists. Through workshops and networking events, we have built since 2017 a strong community at Campus Adlershof. With this magazine, we now want to create a communication platform that complements our initiative. Here you will find profiles of the people involved, announcements and reviews of events as well as articles on relevant topics from our community.

Our aim is for female scientists of the different disciplines within our faculty to become more visible, to inspire others and to use this platform as a kind of database to find female experts in all areas of mathematics and science.

Review: Future WINS – New Energies for a Sustainable World

An international scientific conference in Berlin-Adlershof. “Future WINS” was an interdisciplinary event bringing together a community of natural scientists from all fundamental and applied research fields – from mathematics and computer science to geography and engineering – to discuss current challenges in energy research and viable strategies for sustainable solutions.

Upcoming Event: WINS School 2023

Upcoming Event: WINS School 2023

The call is open for our next summer school! WINS Summer School 2023 is dedicated to the comprehensive topic of frameworks and networks. Within the scientific focus of the event are fundamental questions related to the mathematical and numerical modelling of such systems, ranging from core technical infrastructure, to nanomaterials, to biological organizations.

Anne Vogt

Field: Linguistics, Psychology

Focus topics: Embodied Cognition, Psycholinguistics, Meaning Processing, Language Comprehension and Production

Institution: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Institute for Psychology and Berlin School of Mind and Brain

Anne is very fascinated about the human capacity of language and speaking. She studied linguistics and psychology and combined both fields during her PhD at HU Berlin. There she investigated whether the rich experiences we make in our everyday lives influence how we speak and which words we chose when speaking. Furthermore, she loved to supervise students and is very interested in people's personal development. Therefore, she moved on to a position outside of academia in HR where she can pursue this interest professionally. In her free time, she spends time with her two children in nature, plays violin and viola and is a German teacher for refugees.
