Objetive

The objective of encouraging projects led by women in the university setting is to promote gender equity and leverage female talent and the unique perspective it can bring to scientific and academic research. Despite progress in equal opportunities, women remain underrepresented in leadership roles across many academic and research fields. The goal is not only to correct this imbalance, but also to enrich the research landscape with a diversity of approaches and experiences, contributing to a more equitable and motivating academic environment for future generations of female researchers.
