Pro Exzellenzia is seeking to significantly and sustainably increase the proportion of women in executive positions in Hamburg. The scholarship is aimed at female doctoral candidates (cis and trans) in the fields of STEM, art, music, and architecture who seek a leading position in science, business, administration, and other institutions.
