Worshop “Empowering Women in Science – Control Strategies to Close the Diversity and Inclusion Gap”, Politecnico di Bari

The workshop Empowering Women in Science: Control Strategies to Close the Diversity and Inclusion Gap is an engaging and dynamic event dedicated to addressing the persistent underrepresentation of women in scientific roles. Despite decades of initiatives, gender imbalances remain widespread across disciplines and career stages.

Promoting diversity and inclusion in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is not only a matter of fairness but also drives innovation and excellence. Yet structural barriers, unconscious bias, and exclusionary practices persist, limiting the participation and visibility of women and other underrepresented groups, particularly in leadership positions.

This workshop will bring together voices from academia, industry, policy-making, and the non-profit sector to explore key challenges and share tools, evidence-based strategies, and real-world practices that support more equitable environments in scientific fields.

The workshop is primarily designed for students, researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners committed to fostering a more inclusive scientific community. However, participants from all backgrounds are warmly welcomed. We believe that inclusion is a shared responsibility and a shared opportunity.
