TInnGO Italian Hub attended the event “She hacks Polito 2020 escaping stereotypes” organised by Politecnico di Torino to present the initiatives for its female population. Recent numbers seem to reveal that a general change has started to spread in the girls’ interest towards STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) studies: females are 26% of students enrolled in the first year, a record for this university.
The event was also an occasion to present the results of a survey aimed at investigating the reasons behind the choice of this kind of studies. Politecnico’s campaign to increase the number of women enrolling in engineering “WeAreHERe 2019” was illustrated too. TInnGO Italian Hub is interested in the activities going on at Politecnico to gain more knowledge in order to present it as a successful case study for WP9 “Education and employment opportunities in SM”.
The programme of the event is available at this link, while the news on the press (in Italian) is at this link.
