It is a great honor to be part of the competence center World Food System Center. Looking forward to contributing to sustainability and food security from a water resources angle!

The podcast aims at young women to inform and motivate them to get into engineering. If you are curious about why Dorothee Kurz studied Bioprocess engineering, why she chose to switch university for her Master degree or what in retrospect she would have done differently, listen in! For non-German speakers: The Podcast is in German – you can either practise your recent acquired German skills or Dorothee is happy to give you a short summary in English.
