Databases of Women Scientists
General

#NaturalandSocialScience #WorldwWide #JuniorPositions #Women
AcademiaNet is a powerful tool to search experts in their field in order to fill scientific committees with female scientists, ask female speakers for panels. Each female is nominated and after passing the strict criteria they will be added to the list. Academia also helps journalists and conferences organizers who are searching for established women experts. It’s focus is mostly on European scientists, as it is supported by network of renowned research organizations such as Swiss National Science Foundation and Spektrum der Wissenschaft.
DFG geförderte Projekte
#NaturalandSocialScience #Germany #JuniorPositions
Online database that include all projects, both current and completed, funded by DFG (Deutsche Forschungemainschaft). Search is allowed based on projects, people involved in the projects and institutions and further on subject area, research or programme. Project’s subject areas focus on STEM, however there are some humanities projects as well. Each profile, of both researchers and institutions, guides you through sub-groups to detailed pages of project. This database does not separate female and male scientist, they are all grouped together. As DFG is a German based research foundation, descriptions are in german.
