The Women’s International Leadership Conference (WIL) empowers womxn with diverse academic and professional backgrounds from around the world to take charge of their careers and put themselves on the path to leadership. Undergraduate students at Jacobs University have been organizing the conference since 2015.

Our vision:

• To create awareness about the lack of womxn in leadership positions,
• to inform about prevailing discrimination against womxn from different points of view,
• to make feminism understandable for people of various backgrounds, and
• to inspire particularly female students to aim for high career goals.

Who will participate:

• We are expecting speakers from all over the world, from various social and professional backgrounds. Our guests include academics, social entrepreneurs, CEOs, politicians, activists, engineers and so on.
• Our main target audiences are undergraduate and graduate students. However, everyone with an interest in the topic is more than welcome to participate.
