As part of the UN International Year of Quantum Science and Technologies 2025 (IYQ2025) — marking 100 years of quantum mechanics — the Faculty of Physics of the University of Vienna will host an evening dedicated to the contributions and participation of women in quantum physics: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The founder of our platform, Francesca Ferlaino, will be first presenting the atom*innen project and how it is aimed at helping to empowering women in Quantum Physics. She will also participate at the round table afterwards with the other speakers. We're really looking forward to this highly interesting event!
