Women and girls make invaluable contributions to science but all too often face systemic barriers throughout their career: the scientific community still looses way too many bright minds at different levels of an academic career. We cannot afford that. Together, let's commit to creating an inclusive environment where all voices are heard and valued, where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Let's celebrate the women who inspire, innovate and transform our world through their passion for science and open opportunities for young girls to follow their paths.
With everyone onboard, we can build a future where girls will no longer be limited in pursuing their dreams, whether in STEM or any other field.


DARE !

Francesca Ferlaino and Hannes Pichler have both received a research award from the Südtiroler Sparkasse Foundation. 

With the "Scientist of the Year" award, the Club of Education and Science Journalists is honouring the efforts of scientists to communicate their work and their discipline to a broad public for the 30th time. This year Glacier researcher Andrea Fischer won the award for her outstanding job of communicating the importance of research on ongoing climate change and the associated glacier retreat in particular to the general public.

Alison Patteson is the recipient of the Maria Goeppert Mayer Award 2024 from the American Physical Society.

This week, Francesca Ferlaino has been awarded the Grete Rehor-Staatspreis, presented for the first time this year, for her contribution to gender equality in the field of quantum physics and for the “Atom*innen” project she initiated. The award was presented to her by the Federal Minister Susanne Raab. Many congratulations!

The national prize is awarded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Women, Family, Integration and Media.
