Zusammenfassung:Abstract: In spite of a changing situation for female education differences still exist in choosing a study as well as in aiming a profession. In cultural, social and philosophical studies women are represented to a larger degree in natural sciencesthan in technical fields. In Austria, the rate of female technical and scientific students is between 4% and 38%. Therefore there is a need of improved information and orientation towards technical and scientific studies in schools in order to give advices and examples of female scientists to motivate young women to choose a technical or scientific study. The paper summarises the results of recent data and information (of literature and internet research) concerning the Austrian situation and points out some examples and model projects within Germany and Austria to motivate young woman to assume technical studies.;
