© Nikolaus Urban The University of Münster launched the "Women in Research" (WiRe) scholarship in 2018 to inspire more women to pursue a career in science. The programme supports excellent international female scientists from the PostDoc level onwards in the "rush hour of life" - the balance between academic career and family. An important component of the WiRe programme is supporting the female fellows in professional science communication. So far, 15 female academics have received funding and conducted research at Münster University for several months. This year, the female scholarship holders received a so-called "Research@Home" scholarship due to corona, in which they get in touch virtually with colleagues at Münster University. The archaeologist Dr Aleksandra Kubiak-Schneider from Poland and the chemist Dr Leyre Marzo from Spain give an insight into their current research and report on what the scholarship means to them. Connecting the past with the present and the future By Dr Aleksandra Kubiak-Schneider For my research, I regularly go on a search for traces of the ancient world and study archaeological, epigraphic and historical aspects of the religions of the Middle East in the period from the 1st to the 3rd century BC.
