Inhalt: "Bringing more Women into Technology is currently a much discussed theme with a strong economic Background: the shortage of qualified technicians in high tech industry. This causes an increasing demand for specialized female technicians thus resulting in an increase of versatile initiatives for the transition from university to the Labor market; however their effect was unconvincingly so far. The project CHANGES was carried out at Vienna University of Technology (TU) together with two Austrian companies positioned in the field of cooperative research. The aim was to accompany female technicians in their career entry. Based on the experiences of CHANGES, this article reflects systematically upon the conception and realization of measures at the intersection of universities and companies and provides recommendations for further discussion. Starting point for further considerations are the socio-scientific debates about affirmative action programs in the field of engineering science. The article concludes with practical recommendations and shall facilitate the recruiting and engagement of female personnel in the field of technology." (author's abstract)
