We invite you to join these webinars, which are part of the FEBS 60th anniversary celebrations. The webinars are co-organized by the FEBS Women in Science Working Group and the Careers of Young Scientists Committee, with support from the FEBS Junior Section. The event will feature several female scientists nominated by their National Societies.
Each nominee will give a presentation outlining their career paths, scientific backgrounds and inspirations for pursuing science. They will also discuss how they built self-confidence, overcame challenges and addressed potential inequalities throughout their careers.
The presentations will be followed by an engaging online panel discussion chaired by Profs Dame Caroline Dean (Chair of the FEBS Women in Science Working Group), Irene Díaz-Moreno (Chair of the FEBS Careers of Young Scientists Committee) and Jerka Dumić (Chair of the FEBS Integration and Networking Committee). The panellists will explore topics such as mentorship, leadership roles and strategies for supporting the next generation of scientists.
We believe that first-hand testimonies from successful women scientists can inspire young researchers and raise awareness about the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion in academia. This event aims to contribute to their personal and professional development.
