La delegación CERU en el South West celebrará un evento para conmemorar el Día internacional de la Mujer y niña en la Ciencia, bajo la iniciativa global CERU 11 de Febrero. Tres expertos ofreceran una visión multidisciplinar de las preguntas: Porqué no hay mas mujeres en el mundo de las STEM? cuáles son los problemas y las posibles soluciones por las cuales hay un numero bajo de niñas que eligen asignaturas y carreras STEM? Posteriormente habrá una mesa redonda durante la cual los asistentes tendrán la oportunidad de discutir más a fondo sobre el tema y compartir sus reflexiones e ideas.
El evento tendrá lugar el 7 de febrero en el edificio de Biomedical Sciences, School of Biochemistry, Room C44 (University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TD).
