Breast Health Awareness 2024

On the occasion of the international Breast Health Awareness Month, which takes place every year in October (see also www.breastcancer.org), we want to share with you exciting insights around the topic of breast health and engage in lively exchange; our topics:
 

• Breast health: a topic for all
• Our body, our health: anatomy and examination options for the breast, diseases
• Women's bodies in research:
  • Current scientific research and the role of mathematics for medicine
  • Insights into the cultural history of the breast; a female perspective on scientific research; and an artistic statement

The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 30.

Throughout the workshop, the focus will be on exchange and discussion in a protected environment!

With topics that concern us, we want to create new meeting points between female students, female scientists and everyday working life in research medicine and indirectly get to know new fields of study. The female future in digital medicine has long since begun: With female breast radiologists examining breasts and educating patients, with female computer scientists and mathematicians developing new medical diagnostic procedures, and with female artists critically examining tomorrow's technology and creating their works in exchange with researchers. We hope to inspire you for the future of digital medicine and perhaps also a degree course that leads there! In any case, we look forward to a lively exchange with you about breast health issues that concern us all.
