As part of the Erasmus+ funded project “Intelligent Methods for Structures Elements and Materials – IM4StEM”, a video has been produced focusing on women in STEM fields – science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Promoting women’s equal participation in STEM is part of the project’s activities aimed at advancing inclusion and equal opportunities in higher education. Particular emphasis is placed on encouraging young women to pursue studies and professional careers in engineering and information technology, while increasing the visibility of the contributions made by female scientists, educators and researchers.
The video highlights the importance of visible professional role models and an educational environment that enables female pupils and university students to develop their interests, knowledge and skills without being constrained by gender stereotypes. It also emphasises the role of higher education institutions in creating such an environment through teaching, mentoring, research and cooperation with industry.
Through this activity, the IM4StEM project connects its scientific and educational objectives with the promotion of gender equality and encourages dialogue on opportunities for women’s education and professional development in STEM.
