Portrait and offer
To mark the 100th anniversary of the awarding of the first honorary doctorate to a woman, the scientist and explorer Princess Therese of Bavaria (1850-1925), the Princess Therese of Bavaria Foundation for the Promotion of Women in Science was established by the University Women’s Representative in 1997. The foundation is an endowment to the University’s corporate assets, it is recognized by the tax office as a non-profit organization and is administered by the LMU Foundation Department. The Foundation’s Board of Trustees, which includes representatives of the LMU Presidential Board and the House of Wittelsbach, decides on the use of the funds. It is chaired by the University Women’s Representative.
The Princess Therese of Bavaria Foundation pursues exclusively and directly scientific purposes, in particular the awarding of the €10,000 Princess Therese of Bavaria Prize to up to 6 outstanding (young) female scientists at LMU every two years.

The city of Munich stands for an urban society without discrimination with equal opportunities for all. Equal rights are a constitutional principle, but the real implementation of this norm requires cooperation with civil society in addition to a state mandate. In Munich, there are a large number of organizations, institutions and projects that are involved in the task of implementing equal rights for women, men and people of other genders.
With this “Women’s Handbook Munich”, the Equal Opportunities Office for Women of the City of Munich offers an overview and information on where to turn with a specific concern. More information about the Equal Opportunities Office for Women can be found on our homepage.
