Together strong in science and research

Our NOWA network is a network for and by female scientists and science managers at TU Bergakademie Freiberg.

This gives female scientists and science managers a place to exchange experiences - on a personal and professional level. The participants meet regularly for workshops, meetings and lunches, where they can learn about a wide range of topics relating to working in science as well as different career paths and funding programmes.

With the network, the women want to support and strengthen each other in order to be successful in science. With NOWA, there is now a platform with which women in science can be made more visible.

Join us for a unique encounter with Marina Stefanova. As Vice-Dean for Sustainability, Empowerment and Engagement at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Sofia University, she is dedicated to promoting sustainable development and responsible governance.

With a strong background in industrial economics and management, Assoc. Prof. Stefanova has directed the Master’s programme „Responsible and Sustainable Governance“ and manages the ESG Lab and ESG Academy. She is also the chairman of the Sustainability Specialists Association and a member of several prestigious advisory councils, including the OECD National Contact Point. As a passionate advocate for sustainability, Prof. Stefanova has founded the „FEB“ Foundation, which supports faculty development and promotes the idea of sustainable development.

In our interactive format, Marina Stefanova will share her experiences, passions and visions for a sustainable future. She will talk about her scientific career, challenges and successes, and show you how you can be part of something bigger. The audience will be involved and has the opportunity to ask questions, exchange experiences and engage with Marina Stefanova.

Marina is currently working at the TU Bergakadamie Freiberg at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics through the Visiting Professors Program of the State Rectors‘ Conference.
The Visiting Professors Program aims to attract excellent international and national female scientists and artists for research and teaching at Saxon universities, to be perceived as an attractive employer and to increase the proportion of women in professorships at Saxon universities.
