First edition 2019
Woman of Science Award
The ScienzaSocietàScienza Association promotes activities aimed at the dissemination of scientific culture and considers the relationship between women and science one of the important issues to be pursued. Even today, in fact, gender equality, despite the goals achieved in recent years at local, national and international level, even within the scientific community, remains strongly influenced by stereotypes and women continue to be marginalized in research, science publications , and in various other fields.
In this context, the Association announces the first edition of the “Woman of Science” Award in Sardinia for the year 2019.
The award intends to offer recognition to female figures who have contributed to giving prestige and advances to Sardinia in the scientific field.
