Of the 1,932 people working in science at TU Graz, 449 are female. The path into technology and science is still rockier or more winding for women than for their male colleagues. However, outstanding female scientists at TU Graz and promising young female technicians and scientists have already travelled this path or are in the process of doing so. They show how beneficial it is to give women their rightful place in science.
