Women are often associated with social and work contexts far removed from the fields of science and technology;this under-representation has significant socio-economic impacts in Italy, Europe and globally. Politecnico di Milano wants to contribute to mitigating these prejudices and to promote orientation actions for STEM courses and careers that also contribute to promoting gender balance.
In the 2023-25 period we will:
- train the community on unconscious biases
- strengthen STEM orientation activities and communication of the social impact of technologies
- develop teaching and research activities related to SDG5 (Gender Equality)
- promote instruments to improve gender balance
