STEM WOMEN CONGRESS MADRID 2024
El 9 de mayo celebramos la segunda edición del STEM WOMEN CONGRESS en Madrid, un evento que se ha consolidado como referente en la promoción de la igualdad de género en los sectores STEM. Con una destacada participación y la presencia de referentes como Helia Sharif, ingeniera aeroespacial en Thales Alenia Space, así como representantes de empresas comprometidas con la diversidad como Abertis, TMB, Page Group y CaixaBank Tech, el evento destacó por su calidad y relevancia.
SWC Annual Report
El SWC no solo se consolida en España con sus ediciones en Madrid y Barcelona, sino que continúa su expansión internacional con eventos programados en Milán, Bogotá, Montreal y Lisboa a lo largo del año. Además, la organización ha recibido reconocimiento nacional e internacional, entre ellos la selección de Eva Díaz, CEO del STEM Women Congress, como finalista en los “Women Changing the World Global Awards”.
Durante el congreso se presentó el SWC Annual Report 2024, que reveló un incremento del 34% en las iniciativas STEM y una mayor participación masculina como agentes de cambio. También se celebró la ceremonia de los STEM WOMEN CONGRESS AWARDS, en la que Kyndryl fue reconocida por su labor en la reducción de la brecha de género en STEM.
El evento sirvió asimismo como plataforma para lanzar el STEM Tour, una iniciativa destinada a acercar programas STEM a escuelas rurales con menor acceso a este tipo de oportunidades. Además, el SWC anunció su expansión internacional con nuevos eventos en Milán, Bogotá, Montreal y Lisboa.
