The power of equality: Women and scientific innovation

Women have been essential agents in scientific progress, despite the many barriers they have had to overcome throughout history. Their active participation has been fundamental to the discovery of new knowledge and the resolution of complex problems, contributing to the scientific and technological development of the world. Their perseverance, creativity and dedication have opened new doors, defying stereotypes and inspiring future generations of women scientists.

We present to you the women researchers working at our institution, in the hope that they will serve as a source of inspiration for colleagues and students and encourage you to follow in their footsteps in the world of social sciences.
