In the wake of the international fall meeting of the Astronomische Gesellschaft in Bonn from September 13-17, the AstroFrauenNetzwerk (AFN) is organising a meeting/workshop. The AFN meeting/workshop is scheduled such that you have to option to combine your participation in the AFN meeting/workshop with a subsequent attendance of the Astronomische Gesellschaft meeting (for which you will have to register separately): You are cordially invited to participate in the upcoming meeting of the network of women astronomers in German-speaking countries. This year's meeting will take the form of a workshop where we investigate the current situation of female astrophysicists, and inform about networks and career opportunities that might prove useful to your individual career development - and hence to promote an increased participation of women in astronomy in general. We have put together a programme with high-profile speakers on these topics and invite everyone interested to participate. In particular, we will have contributions (presentations and/or discussion contributions) by the following representatives of networks, funding agencies and research on the topics:

14:00-14:10	Christiane Helling, AstroFrauenNetzwerk (AFN)	Welcome address and presentation of the AFN

16:10-16:55	Francesca Primas, International Astronomical Union Women in Astronomy Working Group (IAU-WIAWG)	She is an Astronomer (IAU 2009 resolution B4 and collection of statistics on women in astronomy worldwide)
