My inspire story

I believe that to encourage more women to pursue research, it is essential to study with an applied perspective, recognizing the power of research to transform society. It is also important that interest goes beyond duty, driven by curiosity and a passion for discovery. Having female role models in science helps to visualise that this path is possible, but it is also necessary for society to place greater value on knowledge and its impact. Additionally, having support networks and spaces where women’s contributions to science are recognised can make a significant difference.
