On Tuesday 1 April 2025, at 10 a.m., at Aula Bachelet, Central Building A of the Piazzale Europa Campus, the CUG of the University of Trieste is organising a Round Table entitled "In search of equality: women in science".

Evidence at national and international level highlights the need for structural interventions to promote gender equality, ensuring equal opportunities for career advancement and access to decision-making roles.
Increased participation of women in science is not only a matter of social justice, but represents a strategic lever for the development of innovative and sustainable solutions in science and technology, which are crucial to address the major global challenges of climate change, public health and social equity, taking into account the diversity of experiences and needs of all people.
Diversity is an ethical value, but also an enabling factor for scientific progress that takes into account the needs of society.

Maria Dolores Ferrara, associate professor of labour law, chairperson of the UniTS CUG
Paola Del Negro, research manager, director general of OGS
Anna Gregorio, UniTS associate professor, astrophysicist, chairperson PICOSATS SRL
