“We must ensure that every girl can envision a career in science and that every woman can thrive professionally in this sector.”
UN Secretary-General António Guterres
Next Wednesday, February 11, Mines Saint-Étienne will take part in the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Throughout the week, we will focus on this important subject by highlighting existing inequalities and listening to the career paths of students and researchers at the School to create new role models and future inspirations.
Today, the United Nations points out that “women still represent less than a third of researchers worldwide”1. This week, we will discover that closing the gender gap is not just a matter of equality but also of innovation. Because bringing diversity to science and engineering boosts innovation.
Join us on the Mines Saint-Étienne social media channels to follow this week dedicated to equality, the fight against stereotypes, inspiration, and innovation.
