FORUM – The Magazine of the University of Mannheim

In the FORUM magazine, the University of Mannheim shows examples of what Mannheim scientists are researching, presents study programs and portrays employees and graduates. FORUM offers space for unusual perspectives and is intended to intensify the exchange between the university, students, graduates, companies, and social actors.

The alumni organization ABSOLVENTUM MANNHEIM is a co-publisher of FORUM. The magazine is designed by the Heidelberg-based design and advertising agency uc graphic.

Current Edition: Taking the Chair: Women Professors at Mannheim

Recently, to mark International Women’s Day, we asked students across campus which women at the University of Mannheim inspire them. Quite often, the names they mentioned were those of the very six women profiled in this edition. We were delighted to hear that, because that is exactly what we hoped these portraits of women professors would do: show just how many inspiring women are at the forefront of research at this university.
