CATEGORIES:Conferences - Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Although the representation of female students at EPFL has inc
 reased over the last ten years - now reaching 30% - many challenges remain
  in terms of access for girls and women to scientific studies and careers.
 \n\nHow can we promote diversity in science and technology and attract mor
 e women?\n\nAt this conference\, we will take stock of the situation and e
 xplore the main obstacles\, benefits and practical solutions for changing 
 this paradigm.\n\nA round table discussion bringing together alumnae\, stu
 dents and professors from EPFL will address topics such as the importance 
 of inspiring and shaping the imagination from childhood\, breaking down ge
 nder stereotypes and capitalising on sisterhood.\n\nWe will also present E
 PFL's various initiatives to attract more women to scientific studies from
  an early age. We will zoom in on the Coding Club for Girls\, one of EPFL'
 s flagship initiatives launched in 2018 aimed at young girls aged 11 to 16
  to address these issues.\n\nAt the end of the conference\, the whole audi
 ence is invited to discuss and network over an aperitif. You can also visi
 t the booths of the associations and organisations present to promote equa
 lity in technical and engineering education and careers.\n\n\nProgramme\n\
