Women In Physics - IST

Women In Physics - IST Our group is committed to raising the proportion of women in Physics and achieve a more equal campus

We want to spread an encouraging message to high-school, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers, and to directly address the problems which lead to the significant gender imbalance in Physics. We aim to stimulate a conversation about this issue in the Técnico community, simultaneously empowering women students and researchers to realize their full potential.

It seems like it was only yesterday when we listened to Zita Martins's perspective on gender equality in science 🤩

Her view of how creativity is maitained is especially relevant given the recent discussion about the mental health of students in our campus.

Stay tuned for our next seminar, which will once again be accessible online 😌

Did you know that Physics has one of the largest gender gaps in STEMM* fields? 🤯

For this reason, we decided to form a Women in Physics group at Técnico to strive towards gender parity.

We aim to stimulate a conversation about this issue in the Técnico community, simultaneously empowering women students and researchers to realize their full potential👩‍🔬👩‍🚀👩‍🏫.
We welcome absolutely everyone to be part of this conversation!
