International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2026

11.02.2026

The muse is still not amused!

Since 2009, the monument ‘The Muse has had it’ in the Arcaded Courtyard of the Main Building of the University of Vienna has been a symbol taking a stand against the invisibility of women in academia. Women continue to be severely underrepresented in the natural sciences.

To mark Women in Science Day 2026, the Faculty is hosting events, a postdoc call for women, and an information page with the history of women in (Austrian) mathematics and portraits of some of our female scientists.
