Date: October 21, 12:00–13:30
Location: SR 3/37, Victor-Franz-Hess-Haus, (Ion Physics, 3rd floor, the "glass box") | Online participation is also possible.
Target audience: Researchers
Who participates in science—and does it matter for the knowledge science produces?
In her talk, Daria Jadreškić will explore the connections between gender representation, scientific knowledge production, technological innovation, and the social contexts in which science takes place, with a particular focus on physics. Drawing on research from Science and Technology Studies and philosophy of science, the talk invites us to think about gender and diversity not only in terms of who does science, but also in relation to how scientific knowledge is produced.
Feel free to bring your own lunch and enjoy it during the talk.
Registration is kindly requested: barbara.denicolo@uibk.ac.at
For those joining online, the link will be sent to registered participants shortly before the event.

Daria Jadreškić is a philosopher of science and a science and technology studies
(STS) scholar. She earned her PhD in philosophy of science from the University of
Hannover in 2020. She then worked as a postdoctoral researcher in social studies
of science at the University of Klagenfurt as part of an interdisciplinary DFG-FWF
research group “Epistemology of the LHC” and a senior scientist at the Digital Age
Research Center at the University of Klagenfurt. Since November 2025, she is a
university assistant at the Center Interdisciplinary Gender Studies Innsbruck and,
together with Gundula Ludwig, leads the project “Leaky pipeline and career
trajectories of women in STEM disciplines: Identifying gender patterns.” Her main
areas of research are social epistemology, philosophy of technology, philosophy
of medicine, scientific collaboration, and gender and STEM.
The event is organized by Dr. Barbara Denicolò (she/her/hers), Gender and Diversity Officer, Quantum Science Austria
Europe’s Quantum Future: Science, Talent and the Power of Inclusion
Lecture by quantum physicist and atom*innen founder Francesca Ferlaino on the occasion of International Women’s Day
📅 Date: March 6, 5:45pm
📍 Venue: Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Festsaal
Dr. Ignaz Seipel-Platz 2, 1010 Vienna
💻 Format: Hybrid (in person and via Zoom)
👥 Audience: Scientific community and general public
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, the Presidium and the Women’s Committee of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) hosts a special event dedicated to the research achievements of its female members. Held as part of the Academy’s public plenary session, the hybrid event highlights the role of diversity and inclusion in advancing scientific excellence.
Historian and Africanist Anaïs Angelo, member of the Young Academy of the ÖAW, explores the evolving significance of International Women’s Day in her talk, “The Changing Meanings of International Women’s Day: From Collective Solidarity to Individual Empowerment.” She examined how the day’s political and social dimensions have shifted over time.
Quantum physicist Francesca Ferlaino, founder of atom*innen and Austria’s Scientist of the Year 2025, addresses “Europe’s Quantum Future: Science, Talent and the Power of Inclusion.” She discusses how diverse research teams contribute to creativity, resilience, and long-term innovation, particularly in rapidly developing fields such as quantum science.
The event is introduced and moderated by environmental historian Verena Winiwarter.
