is an annual event celebrated on June 23rd. The 2024 theme is Enhanced by Engineering. The day aims to highlight the achievements of women engineers, promote gender diversity in the engineering field, and encourage more girls and young women to consider careers in engineering. INWED provides an opportunity to recognise the outstanding contributions of women engineers globally and to raise awareness of the need for greater gender balance in the industry.
We could highlight or pointou a specific woman or women in the science industry, rather we mention an achievement of the whole sector in one of our well known universities:
The Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry of Mendel University in Brno is an example of breaking down gender myths in the scientific sphere. More than half of the institute’s 110 employees are women.
Do you have such an. achievement in your country or do you know any women who contributed to the development of the field? Let us know here in reply?
