SAFI NETWORKS AND SUPPORTS FEMALE ACADEMICS WHO CONDUCT RESEARCH ON LAW.
Women and their work are underrepresented and hardly visible in legal academia. There is insufficient networking among them. SAFI (Societas Aperta Feminarum in Iuris Theoria) is an interdisciplinary support network for women in legal academia. The purpose is to network internally, and to organize and cooperate strategically. In this way, female scholars can have a platform to present and amplify their work, and outstanding research by women can become firmly established in legal academia.
What We Want
- Visibility internally and externally
- To network and organize among ourselves
- Regular conferences
- Internal exchange of professional and academic questions, of expertise and information as well as possibilities for cooperation and partnerships
- Support and promotion
What we offer

- Overview of relevant information for women in science
Membership is inclusive, welcoming individuals of all genders. We enthusiastically invite all interested parties to join us.

Dr. Anna Fruhstorfer
Anna Fruhstorfer (WZB Berlin) is a founding member of SAFI who also organised SAFI’s first annual conference in Berlin in 2019. We are most grateful for her ongoing support!
SAFI is a wonderful idea put into action by driven and astounding colleagues. Research shows that women supporting women is a crucial factor for success in academic careers, and Safi certainly offers that. But it does more, above all it allows us all to share our intellectual curiosity with a group of likeminded friends. – Anna
