📱👩🔬 The semiconductor industry deserves more women on board! Sytske Valk from the EU STEM Coalition said in a recent interview with ALLPROS.eu that several factors contribute to disheartening women during their professional life: “Sexism, unwelcoming culture at companies, gender stereotypes, associating men with STEM, and unfair hiring and promotion practices. All of these factors make it difficult for women to succeed in the STEM sector.” Other variables keeping young girls from pursuing STEM careers? 🧑🏫 Educational inequality 📓 Outdated curricula 🧮 Math anxiety 🧑🧑🧒 Parental expectations 💼 Workplace challenges On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the ALLPROS.eu team would like to celebrate all the women making a difference in the EU chips ecosystem, starting with those who gave up some of their precious time for our interview series: Sytske Valk, Kim Davis, Diva Tommei, Valéria Soldera Girelli, Marta García-Gasulla, Aude Jalabert, LL.M., Lucilla Sioli, Francoise Chombar.

#OpenSource excellence is now being recognised by European policymakers and #industry with the inaugural European Open Source Awards. On 30 January 2025, the Awards shone a spotlight on individuals who have shared #code openly and freely for the public good, substantially altering the field of #open #innovation: 🏆 European Open Source Achievement Award – Daniel Stenberg, cURL Project founder and lead developer and wolfSSL curl master 💼 Business & Impact Award – Amandine Le Pape, COO and co-founder of Element - creators of Matrix  and co-founder of Matrix.org 📚 Skills & Education Award – David Cuartielles, founder of Arduino and interaction design PhD-lecturer at Malmö universitet 📢 Advocacy & Awareness Award – Lydia Pintscher, Wikidata portfolio lead at Wikimedia Deutschland e. V. More than just recognition, this marks the launch of the European Open Source Academy (EOSA)—a new hub for collaboration, #policy guidance, and #skills development in open source and open hardware. Over the next two years, #EOSA will drive awareness, #innovation, and strategic autonomy in the open source ecosystem. And "The Academy and Awards will amplify public recognition and awareness on open source software and hardware in Europe for many years to come" noted Johan Linåker project coordinator of the OSAwards.eu 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dmJ5D_Q2

✨👩🏻🔬Happy #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience! On February 11th, we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, recognising their invaluable contributions and the need for greater gender equality in #STEM fields. 📈 7.7 million #female scientists and engineers in the #EU In 2023, the EU counted 7.7 million female scientists and engineers, 381,200 more than in 2022 (Eurostat). While this growth is encouraging, there is still a long way to go in closing the gender gap in STEM. At Trust-IT, we are committed to fostering gender inclusion in science and technology. Through initiatives like StandICT.eu, we actively engage women and girls in ICT and standardisation. 🔙 Last year, the Women in ICT Standards #Webinar highlighted key gender disparities in the field and strategies to bridge them. Let's keep pushing for change! Celebrate #WomenInScience today and explore the insights on StandICT.eu's post-webinar report. 📖https://lnkd.in/dCEhiNvc #February11 #STEM #ICT #WomenInSTEM #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience #EU #Technology #Engineering #Mathematics
