STEM Passion – "Women in Science let us increase visibility and network"

Despite the fact, that women face higher barriers in science, they represent an important driving force for scientific progress in STEM disciplines. The exhibition STEM Passion by Elisabetta Citterio and Claudia Cagliano portraits women in science with different backgrounds and honors their success.

The opening event wants to celebrate women in science, give them more visibility and encourage to network with each other. We especially invite early- and midcareer women, non-binary, trans* and inter* scientists from all STEM disciplines to join the event.
