Network

Women’s network concerning the working situation e.V.

For women, professional decisions are closely linked to their personal life planning. Their professional situation is as contradictory as the situation of women in this society in general. Their diverse and various interests and talents are often not fitting into the concepts that were set by the society. For our consultation concept, it is important to view and value the interaction of work and life from a women’s perspective.

Here you can find interesting facts about the association, our thematic priorities and current offers as well as the possibility to contact us via email, phone or in person at our education and consultation centre in Kiel, Walkerdamm 1. Our barrier-free rooms on the second floor can be reached by lift.

Economic Centre in the Science Park Kiel

The Economic Centre is the heart of the Science Park Kiel. The cultural centre of the location is an open house for innovative activity. We offer room for ideas, for people who attach importance to the proximity of excellence and science; for everyone who needs support for the realisation of their project; and those who are open to work, cooperate and communicate with others.

We are active partners of two projects, which support the founding activities of students: opencampus.sh and SPICE (Student Programme for Innovation Culture and Entrepreneurship). As part of our project activities to develop a start-up culture, we and the Campus Business Box offer free space for student founders from all universities.
