Organised in collaboration with the Royal Society of Chemistry

All professional women welcome, whether members or guests.

Science and technology are still very male dominated sectors, even if nowadays women have equal access to education and opportunities.

Recent researches show even more girls than boys are studying science at high school level, however by the time they reach university, the ratio has flipped with men outnumbering women by two to one. So why are women withdrawing?
During this event, organized in collaboration with Royal Society of Chemistry PWA Milan will host three female – guests that made the difference in this field. We will discuss about obstacles, challenges and solutions for a more equal presence of women in Science and Technology: how can we face stereotype threats? how can we build our own identity and esteem?
