The Vision & Mission gearwheel keeps an eye on our initiative's goal and ensures that our activities align with it. We structure the processes of the network and create conditions that enable the other gearwheels to pursue their goals. Therefore, we work closely with the other gearwheels and support wherever help is needed. We emphasize the issues of feminism, gender, and science.

With our work in the gearwheel Networking, we aim to strengthen the bond of women within our faculty.
For this purpose we organize scientific and social networking events, keep track of other initiatives' projects for the promotion of women and look out for suitable cooperations. Furthermore, we are always trying to find new members for our network.
We are also the contact persons for any inquiries from outside the network and manage the femTUme inbox.

The Visibility & Communication gear is primarily responsible for public relations. As the name suggests, it is about visibility and communication to the outside but also within the femTUme women's network. Currently, the homepage and the regular newsletters are the main tools to be present. Through various events we draw attention to our existence and would like to motivate ALL women to join our still quite young network. Especially for young female students we want to be a role model and show that women in research are not the exception but the normality!

One of femTUme's main concerns is to ensure that women are included in decision-making processes at the university. For this reason, we encourage women to participate in official bodies and represent our agendas there. Our task is to communicate with the official bodies of the TU Wien. The gearwheel's members participate in developing and formulating the promotion of women part in the performance agreement.
