Fib Congress
The fib congress for women in engineering at the VDI has been held in Germany every two years on average since 1990. It is organized alternately by various VDI district associations.
subjects
The program of each fib congress has a different focus. The scientific contributions are made by the participants. Patrons or invited external speakers at the fib congresses are generally high-ranking politicians such as Renate Schmidt , Christa Thoben , Ruth Wagner or Petra Roth , who often give the opening speech. Another item on the program are company tours or other guided tours, such as B. Bielefeld City Theater, which was built according to SIL 3.

In 1993, the VDI division for work and society established the two new areas of "students and young engineers" and women in the engineering profession .
First supraregional meetings
The first supraregional meeting VDI-FIB took place in 1989 in Düsseldorf to discuss the experiences of female engineers from East and West Germany. With the first fib congress in 1990 in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, a series of congresses was started, some of which also take place in cooperation with the German Federation of Women Engineers ( dib) or other female engineering organizations.
