Election of the Deputy Equal Opportunities Officer: Professor Roxana-Mihaela Halbleib

Professor Roxana-Mihaela Halbleib was appointed to the Heisenberg Professorship of Statistics and Econometrics at the Faculty of Economics and Behavioral Sciences in October 2019, which she accepted in March 2020. Since May 2020, Ms. Halbleib has also been head of the Department of Statistics and Econometrics at the Institute of Economics. Before Ms. Halbleib came to Germany, she had first completed her bachelor's degree in economics at the University in lasi in her country of birth, Romania. Thus, she is not only an important representative and role model in a field in which women are still significantly underrepresented. Through her career and biography, she also stands for female scientists who - coming from a different linguistic and cultural background - have been extremely successful in the German academic system. As a successful Margarete von Wrangell and Heisenberg scholarship holder, she is also an important contact person for female scientists at our university who have received funding in this area or who are interested in such funding or scholarships.

The Equal Opportunity Officer Dr. Regina Herzog and the entire team of the Equal Opportunity Office congratulate her on her election!
