As part of a special event organized for the last day of November, Prof. Dr. Stefanie Dehnen, PI of SFB-project A9 and Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, and Prof. Dr. Carmen Birkle, Professor for American Studies, jointly received the “Frauenförderpreis” of the Philipps-Universität Marburg.

The “Frauenförderpreis” of Philipps-Universität Marburg is awarded every two years since 1998 and worth 2500 EUR. It recognizes Prof. Dr. Stefanie Dehnen and Prof. Dr. Carmen Birkle for their strong mentorship and in the case of Professor Dehnen in particular for her participation as a mentor for early-career female academic staff in the Hessen-wide project “SciMento” and her enduring engagement for a family-friendly research environment.

In balancing a professorship and family-life with four young children, Stefanie Dehnen is living proof that having both, a research career and a family is possible.
