Doctoral candidates interested in getting funded should contact IFF directly.
The objective of this program is to empower women in computer science at TUM by providing financial support to students who are looking to sharpen their skills, get inspired by other women in STEM or expand their networks. Or to students interested in getting involved with gender and diversity topics in STEM and especially at TUM.
