Description
Promoting gender equality in physics, particularly through educational initiatives, is crucial given the low representation of women in the field, as evidenced by enrollment statistics. To address this, we initiated the Physics Project Days (PPD), a four-day workshop tailored for schoolgirls. This program aims to foster interest in physics and establish cross-school networks. Through hands-on experimentation in various physics disciplines, including particle physics, laser physics, and nanoscience, participants engage with cutting-edge research topics. The PPD undergo rigorous evaluation to ensure its effectiveness and are recognized as a valuable tool for gender equality work by the German Research Foundation since 2015.
