DESCRIPTION:Extreme speed\, millimeter precision\, cutting-edge engineerin
 g\, split-second strategic decisions — a world where every detail counts
  and performance is everything.\nBut behind this high-tech spectacle\, one
  question remains:\n\nWhere are women?\n\nIn 2026\, while F1 embodies inn
 ovation and excellence\, it remains one of the most male-dominated profess
 ional sports.\nCoincidence… or a reflection of deeper\, systemic mechani
 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
