The Rowena Morse Mentoring Programme (RMMP) is a support programme for young female scientists and young female artists at Thuringian universities. The programme is named after Rowena Morse, who was the first woman to successfully complete her doctorate in Thuringia in 1904. The interdisciplinary programme supports female doctoral candidates in the final phase of their doctorate and female postdocs in the orientation phase on their individual career paths. During the twelve-month programme, specific workshops for further qualification are offered in addition to the placement of mentors. As part of peer mentoring, the mentees network with (early career) female scientists from other Thuringian universities and are supported in group mentoring sessions by experienced professors from Thuringian universities.

The programme is funded by the Thuringian Competence Network for Gender Equality (TKG). The basic concept was developed at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and further developed as a joint concept of the Thuringian universities in the mentoring working group of the Thuringian Competence Network for Gender Equality.
