Exciting times for atom*innen: Last week, we had the honour of presenting the atom*innen platform at the launch of the Women4Quantum (W4Q) Association at Sorbonne Université Paris.
W4Q is a group of female physics professors, mostly based in Europe but also in Japan, working in AMO physics, quantum many-body physics, and quantum information. They recently published a manifesto of values questioning the current model of scientific leadership, funding, and authority - and advocating for a joint effort to improve the situation of women in quantum physics.
The official launch of the W4Q Association was an empowering moment, sending out a clear call for change in quantum science. Throughout the day, engaging conversations brought together voices from academia, industry and even the arts.
We're so grateful to have been part of this exciting moment. Karoline presented our platform and shared what atom*innen is about: a network dedicated to empowering and connecting women and gender minorities in quantum science. If you have not done yet, please register on and join our community!! :-)
To W4Q: Thank you again for inviting us, and congratulations on this important milestone!
