Financial energy for your future: #vorangehen (#proceed) with the VERBUND Scholarship for Women
VERBUND specifically supports highly qualified women in collaboration with TU Wien. With the VERBUND Scholarship for Women, three outstanding female students at TU Wien are supported for a whole year.
The main objective is to acquire technicians for VERBUND and to promote their personal further development with a shot of financial energy.
Dedicated students from technical fields of study may apply: information technology, business informatics, industrial engineering, technical mathematics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or civil engineering.
It is important that the applicants have already garnered professional experience in the form of study-related internships. Excellent English skills are a must, and other foreign language skills would be a plus.

‘I am working on innovative solutions for sustainable technologies to contribute to a green energy future. In my doctorate, I am developing control concepts for fuel cell systems that enable damage-free, highly dynamic operation. This can both increase efficiency and sustainably extend the service life of these systems. This task excites me because it has a direct impact on the energy transition, the mobility of tomorrow and the quality of life of future generations.’

‘My parents encouraged my passion for building and tinkering right from the start. That's why it wasn't a difficult decision for me to attend the HTL and then study civil engineering. The first year at HTL was a bit daunting with only 5 girls out of almost 40 students in the class. But by the time I got to university, I realised that women were definitely present in the construction industry.’

„Schon der Auswahlprozess war für
mich eine spannende Erfahrung. Durch den dreiphasigen Prozess wurde ich mit
unterschiedlichen Situationen konfrontiert, die mir im Berufsleben in der
Bewerbungssituation unterkommen könnten. Darüber hinaus gibt mir die Teilnahme
am Stipendium natürlich die Möglichkeit mich vielseitig weiterzubilden und
beispielsweise auch Konferenzen zu besuchen, zu denen ich sonst nicht fahren
hätte können.“
