Even though the number of women in science has risen in recent years, according to the UNESCO Science Report 2021, just a third of all those working in science worldwide are female. Women are particularly underrepresented in subjects such as computer science, engineering, physics and maths. And although the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly important in the last decade and has become an integral part of everyday life, the gender differences in this professional field are even more extreme. Just 16% of those working in the field of AI in Germany are female. There are many reasons for this. This makes it all the more important to continue to inspire and support girls and women in science.

Within the LOEWE network, many women work in a wide variety of areas: Women are active at spokesperson or managing director level of the projects. Whether medicine, AI, microbiology, architecture or social sciences - there are LOEWE experts in almost every field who are constantly researching to help people understand their behaviour better or to protect our planet from climate change.
