AcademiaNet - The Portal to Excellent Women Academics

AcademiaNet presents excellent female researchers. If you want to fill a leading position in science or are looking for an expert, you will find first rate candidates here. Also for conference planning or science writing, you will find female experts from practically every field. And in case you are looking for committee members – we only have renowned professors and distinguished researchers in our data base.

AcademiaNet is a portal that provides numerous profiles of excellent women academics from every discipline, making them more visible and more easily accessible. This in turn will make it easier to fill leadership positions and scientific bodies with women academics. Other target groups include journalists and conference organisers searching for proven experts.

The portal was established in 2010 with the profiles of primarily German-speaking women academics. Since 2011, the portal has been gradually internationalised in order to continuously expand the pool of outstanding women academics in Germany and beyond and to make it more readily accessible. To that end, the profiles of renowned European women academics are now being added. The portal will be established in the coming years as a European database for those searching for suitable female candidates for influential academic and scientific positions. In order to ensure that the database is also accessible to non-German speaking academics and users and that European scientific communities will be able to familiarise themselves with it, the web site will also be available in English starting in 2012.
