Science and Beλond—The LGBTIQA* Network

Science and Beλond—LGBTIQA*!

Are you part of the community and looking for networking opportunities with other LGBTQI* people in academia? Are you not one of those letters, but a supporter? Do you simply want to learn more about the topic and become more aware of the issues?

Come on, join the University network Science and Beλond! As a member, you will have access to regular networking events, lectures, workshops, and joint activities. We can’t wait to meet you and look forward to your ideas, insight, and impetus.  

Who is the network for?

All administrative and academic staff whether LGBTQI* or allies—employed by universities or research institutions in Hamburg. German and English are our main languages, but we are open to speakers of all languages.

If you want to join the LGBTQI* network Science and Beλond, register here. Once you register, we can keep you posted about upcoming events and meetings via our mailing list and you can also send emails to members of Science and Beλond. You are welcome to get involved in organizing future events, but this is not required. Registrations are confidential and can be viewed by the organizational team only.
