The Olympia Morata Programme of Heidelberg University is funding four junior female researchers working on their postdoctoral or comparable qualifications. After a successful review of their applications, Dr Laura Schmidt (psychology), Dr Lisa Baumann (biology), Dr Julia Bauer (medical physics), and Dr Giulia Pelillo-Hestermeyer (Romance studies) have been selected as award recipients. The goal of the university is to increasingly attract women to university and scientific careers.
Dr Laura Schmidt works at the Institute of Psychology in the research unit “health psychology” on health-related behaviour over the entire life span. Her postdoctoral project focuses on practical approaches intended to promote health-related behaviour and well-being through technology-based interventions and psychological techniques on behaviour modification.
