An action to promote gender diversity in science: "Sciences, un métier de femmes!"
Abstract
In March 2017 and 2018, on the International Women's Day, March 8, we have organized the event "Sciences, un métier de femmes!", exclusively dedicated to high school girls, intended to encourage young girls to pursue their education in the fields of science and technology. Supported by ENS-Lyon and Femmes & Sciences association, the success of these two events demonstrated the relevance of such targeted actions. Indeed, the 3rd edition is already foreseen on March, 8 2019.
