Round table discussion on «Gender Diversity in Science»: available on Wednesday 16th

Join the round table discussion regarding gender diversity in science.
Despite the fact that there is significant progress in reaching gender balance and increasing women representatives in many aspects of STEM, we are still at the beginning of a long way. We hardly can change all the world, but at least we can use the opportunity and platform of the international conference to raise this topic publicly and talk about the invaluable contribution women bring to the community, praise their success, and motivate young girls to pursue careers in STEM.
We truly believe that this discussion will be useful and important to the majority of the participants and even wider.
