Women In Physics - IST

We hope the entire Técnico community is enjoying their rest 🏖️

We have been quiet around here, but with good reason! We’ve been working on two projects that we can’t wait to share with you. One of them is still a secret 🤫 Find out more here:

We prepared a guide for the community of Instituto Superior Técnico to know exactly where to go if something happens which doesn’t feel right. Knowledge is power 💪

Check out the guide on our website (available in 🇵🇹 and 🇬🇧):

How To Report Not sure what kind of behaviour should be reported? Here are a few examples: Sexual harassment, e.g.: unconsented sexual contact, repeated jokes or suggestive observations about someone’s appearance or sexual condition Moral harassment, e.g.: repeated verbal attacks or other acts with the goal of ...

It seems like it was only yesterday when we listened to Zita Martins's perspective on gender equality in science 🤩

Her view of how creativity is maitained is especially relevant given the recent discussion about the mental health of students in our campus.

Stay tuned for our next seminar, which will once again be accessible online 😌

Here are some ideas on using this day for growth 💕

We see your good intentions, but what do flowers have to do with women's rights and achievements? 😥
Feel free to use the last slide as a template, and write what you'd rather get on this day!

Raffaella Schneider shared some valuable bits of her experience in a physics career ❤️

Check out the news piece from IST website about our group and the APS grant!😍

Grupo de estudantes do Técnico distinguido pela Sociedade Americana de Física Nunca antes um grupo europeu tinha sido contemplado com uma destas bolsas, o que por si só torna a atribuição ainda mais especial para o “Women in Physics” (WiP).

We're very proud to receive this support from APS Physics 😍

Women in Physics group awarded an APS Grant | Group of Lasers and Plasmas Women in Physics group awarded an APS Grant The Women in Physics group, which was founded in 2020 by EPP team members Camilla Willim, Marija Vranic, Mariana Moreira, and Chiara Badiali, later joined by GoLP members Joana Alves and Mariana Silva, was awarded the Women in Physics Group Grant, worth 10...

Did you know that Physics has one of the largest gender gaps in STEMM* fields? 🤯

For this reason, we decided to form a Women in Physics group at Técnico to strive towards gender parity.

We aim to stimulate a conversation about this issue in the Técnico community, simultaneously empowering women students and researchers to realize their full potential👩‍🔬👩‍🚀👩‍🏫.
We welcome absolutely everyone to be part of this conversation!

The gender gap in science: How long until women are equally represented? Author summary In most fields of science, medicine, and technology research, men comprise more than half of the workforce, particularly at senior levels. Most previous work has concluded that the gender gap is smaller today than it was in the past, giving the impression that there will soon be equal...
