• Building a functioning network like the ETH WPF is resource-intensive – how did you manage to successfully develop it?
• Why is it that so few women aspire to a professorship in your own discipline, physics, or in another scientific discipline?  
• You’ve mentioned structural barriers several times. Why, in your view, is the structural framework currently unfavorable?  
• Apart from your personal motivation, and choosing the right moment, to what extent is the success of the ETH WPF influenced by other factors, such as senior management? 
• You pointed out that individual disciplines are confronted with challenges of different kinds, calling for specifically tailored approaches. Could you give an example to illustrate that?  
• Could you explain in more detail what the ETH WPF does and how it sees its role? What benefits does the network provide? 
• Why did you seize the initiative to improve the situation of women in the natural sciences? Which of your personal qualifications, characteristics and skills were decisive for this step? 
• By developing the ETH WPF, you’ve already managed to achieve important goals. What additional measures and steps are required to go beyond these goals?
