The NOISE* E❌IST-Women-Events take place every two weeks on Monday - mostl between 1 and 5 pm. PLEASE REGISTER HEREto receive invitations for the events.

The NOISE* EXIST-Women program includes community support, skill-development and scholarships for 5 - 10 women/FLINTA* (*FLINTA stands for women, lesbians, intersex people, non-binary, transgender and agender people). The scholars have already been awarded for 2025.

Regardless if you receive a schlorship or not - if you are female / FLINTA and want to start a new project or company you are welcome to join all the other NOISE* events:

The Film University's start-up service offers community events to which all entrepreneurially interested FLINTA are warmly invited. Funded by the BMWK, we offer a 12-month qualification program with know-how, experience exchange, skill-sharing, and co-working. Our goal is to support FLINTA in the pre-foundation phase and to address specific industry-related challenges in a supporting framework. The goals of NOISE* include creating more competitive offerings, counteracting the gender pay gap, and providing better opportunities for follow-up financing and investor readiness.
