Coordinator and partners
For this project the four national research groups cooperated cloesely with three universities.
The German project teams Frauenakademie München e.V. and SIM Sozialwissenschaftliches Institut München cooperated with the University of Augsburg. This university was founded in 1970. It is one of the new, modern universities in Bavaria, and with approximately 15,000 students it is of a manageable size. It offers teaching in the faculties theology, business administration and economics, law, philosophy and social sciences, philology and history, mathematics and natural sciences as well as applied computer sciences. It attracts students from far beyond its immediate catchment area. About 20 % of the German students come from outside Bavaria, and with 14 % its share of foreign students is larger than that at other universities of comparable size.
Our main partners within the university were the vice-president Prof. Dr. Alois Loidl, the women’s representative Prof. Dr. Hildegard Macha, Marion Magg-Schwarzbäcker (Dipl.Soz.) head of the women’s bureau and Dr. Stephanie Handschuh-Heiß, division manager for science and research at the Gender Center Augsburg.

The Austrian research team cooperated with the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, or WU) which was founded in 1975. In two steps, one in 1993 and a major one in 2004, the WU gained autonomy from the Austrian ministry of science. With about 20,000 students from Austria and abroad, the Vienna University of Economics and Business is the EU’s largest educational institution for business and economics, business law, and social sciences. Instead of faculties the WU has departments consisting of the departments of marketing, finance and accounting, management, data processing und process management, political economics, business, labour and social law, public law and tax law, social sciences, foreign business communication and statistics and mathematics. Our main partner within the university was Ao. Prof. Dr. Luise Gubitzer.
