TINT and WISE (Women in Science and Engineering - Eindhoven Network) are joining forces again to prepare an inspiring evening marking the 6th United Nations’ International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

Join us online on February 10th 2020, from 19:00-21:00, to celebrate girls and women in science in Eindhoven, listen to amazing speakers and meet inspiring people.

This year’s theme: “Growing towards a female role model”.

This event explores the journey from a high school student towards a full professor.

We focus on three stages: choosing a STEM University track, becoming a PhD candidate and applying for a Tenure Track. Each stage is introduced by an interesting speaker followed by a sharing moment.

Program :

• Lecture by Elise Quant from the Eindhoven School of Education to introduce the question: How do we encourage girls to choose for a STEM track after secondary school?
• Discussion moment on how to increase diversity at the TU/e and how we show that science is for everyone.

• Lecture by PhD candidate Victoria Korshunova about the second question: How do we attract women to apply for a PhD position?
• TINT-Exercise about Role Models and the traits that inspire our values and decision-making in life.

• Lecture by Ruth Cardinaels – an associate professor in Mechanical Engineering and former WISE board member - to lookn into the question: How to attract more women in academic tenure tracks?
• TINT - Exercise called Tree of Life about your past, present and future outlook in life.

This event is an opportunity to honour the increasing contribution of female scientists in technical fields and, also, a place to share personal stories and sources of inspiration by role models in the study and career choices.

Let yourself be inspired by this lovely article on last year’s SOLD OUT event.
