“Woman of Science” Award <\/strong><\/p>\n

fourth edition<\/p>\n

The ScienzaSociet\u00e0Scienza Association promotes activities aimed at spreading scientific culture and considers the relationship between women and science as one of the important themes to pursue. Even today, gender equality, despite the achievements of recent years at local, national, and international levels, including within the scientific community, remains heavily influenced by stereotypes, and women continue to be marginalized in research, scientific publications, and various other fields. In this context, the Association announces the fourth edition of the “Woman of Science” Award in Sardinia for the year 2022. <\/p>\n

The award is organized in collaboration with the Universities of Cagliari and Sassari, INAF and the Astronomical Observatory of Cagliari, the Cagliari section of INFN, the Cagliari branch of the CNR Institute of Neurosciences, the Equal Opportunities Department of the Municipality of Cagliari, and Gi.U.Li.A. Journalists Sardinia. The award aims to recognize female figures who have contributed to bringing prestige and advancements to Sardinia in the scientific field.<\/p>\n

Who it’s for<\/strong><\/p>\n

The award is aimed at women born or working in Sardinia or for Sardinia, who have carried out activities in the field of scientific research, science education, and the dissemination of scientific culture, also through the use of media. Within the Award, the Equal Opportunities Department of the Municipality of Cagliari offers the Young Woman of Science Award aimed at Cagliari candidates participating in the Award. Other recognitions may be awarded to candidates meeting certain requirements. In particular, the jury reserves the right to award a Special Prize to women who, starting from a scientific background, have particularly distinguished themselves in academic paths, scientific entrepreneurship, and public life. The jury reserves the right to award, even in the absence of an application, one or more special mentions to female figures who have achieved significant results in the scientific or technological field. <\/p>\n
