Girls' Day at BIH 2025

The Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) once again took part in the nationwide Girls' Day this year. As in previous years, interest was huge and the offers were fully booked in no time at all. More than 90 girls gained insights into the work of scientists in biomedicine in seven different workshops. More than 30 scientists from seven different BIH working groups prepared a three-hour program for the schoolgirls and showed them how diverse research is when it comes to identifying diseases, developing therapies and curing people. The activities ranged from laboratory work and insights into clinical studies to digital medicine and bioinformatics approaches in medicine. The students from grades 6 to 12 pipetted in the lab, looked at brain models on the computer and practiced the basics of programming. They learned what makes a good research question and how important good scientific practice is. The participants were enthusiastic about the exchange with technical assistants, PhD students and even professors. We would like to thank everyone involved for their commitment!

About Girls' Day

Girls' Day takes place nationwide every spring and offers girls from the 5th grade onwards an insight into professions and courses of study in which women are rarely represented. On Girls' Day, companies and institutes from the fields of crafts, natural sciences and technology open their doors and present their fields of activity and female role models. BIH takes part in Girls' Day to introduce girls to the opportunities and exciting aspects of medical research at an early stage and to present role models for scientific careers.
