  question remains:\n\nWhere are women?\n\nIn 2026\, while F1 embodies inn

 sms?\n\nThe EPFL Alumni Women Club\, in partnership with EPFL Alumni\, inv
 ites you to go beyond the surface\, to understand the forces holding women
  back in F1.\n\nIn this open discussion\, we will tackle the real question
 s:\n— Is Formula 1 truly accessible to everyone?\n— Are the barriers c
 ultural\, educational\, physical… or systemic?\n— Who decides today wh
 o gets to join the grid?\n— And what role do the media\, sponsors\, and 
 public play in maintaining—or challenging—this imbalance?\n\nA high-le
 vel exchange at the crossroads of sport\, technology\, and societal issues
 . This event offers a deep dive into the backstage of an iconic sport\, de
 coding its codes and structures.\nThe goal: to understand\, but also to ex
 plore concrete levers for change.\n\nWe are honored to welcome key figures
