Dr. Genet Asefa Gesese included into Leibniz mentoring program

Karlsruhe, May 28, 2025 - Promoting scientific excellence begins with the people who help shape it. Our colleague Dr. Genet Asefa Gesese is one of these people. With her research in the field of Information Service Engineering, she has made a name for herself as an excellent scientist within a very short time. She has now been accepted into the renowned Leibniz mentoring program - an important step on her path to becoming a scientific leader.

Dr. Gesese heads the “Machine Learning” department in the Information Service Engineering unit at FIZ Karlsruhe. Her work is not only technically groundbreaking, but also of strategic importance for our research institution. Her inclusion in the mentoring program underlines the high scientific quality of her achievements and her potential for leadership responsibility.

Leibniz Mentoring is a central element of the Leibniz Association's Gender Equality and Excellence Strategy. It is aimed at female scientists with a doctorate who are in an orientation and consolidation phase after their exam. The aim is to prepare them specifically for a career in management positions or a professorship. In addition to the structured mentoring partnership, participants benefit from a comprehensive seminar program, professional process support and the opportunity to further expand their own network.

For Dr. Gesese, this opens up a space for personal growth, new impulses and strategic career development. We congratulate her on her acceptance into the program and look forward to accompanying her on this next step in her career.
