📣 “The voices of women are frequently not heard” In 2019, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was urging action to reach gender equality in marine science. 🔬 The ocean challenges set up by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are very ambitious, and success cannot happen without including women. If history has proven how female scientists have brought precious knowledge to marine science, women remain under-represented today for decision-making roles in conservation. By reaching equality, we guarantee balanced solutions for a safe and clean ocean 💪 For that, we need to raise women's voices : by providing training, job opportunities and ensuring they have enough room to express themselves and share their knowledge with the world 💬 Let's inspire many other women to pursue a marine science career!

𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲. 𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬. 💖 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐲: 🌟 "For mankind’s full potential to unfold for maximal economic, social, sustainable, and scientific progress, we will need the best possible leadership for our human organizations. 💼 🔍 That is because organizational behavior and output is often a reflection of the characteristics of its leaders. 🌱 💫 But how then can humanity reach the stars, if we consistently deny one half of our species, and with that fifty percent of potentially excellent human capital, access to top-level decision-making? 🚀 🌍 This is not only problematic from a social and human rights perspective: science has documented societal glass ceilings, the irrational preference of men, and gender biases in leadership as problematic for organizations and the functionality of leadership. 📚 💡 The reason is straightforward and simple: gender inequality and the tendency to use gender as a discriminant when appointing the new leader result in the appointment of suboptimal leadership which directly translates into inferior performance of the organization headed by that leader. 🎯 🤝 That is why in 2015 the leaders of the world pledged to commit to an action plan which, inspired by the idea and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, inter alia aims to bolster justice, equity, openness, and inclusiveness across the globe. This endeavor materialized in the “Gestalt” of the Sustainable Development Goal number 5 “gender equality” adopted by all United Nations Member States. 💖🌍✊" But there is a long way to go: below a map of women's representation in top management teams in large firms - a result from our supercomputer based research (The text is from one of my recent research articles on gender equality, together with Dr. Maren Rottler, Freya Onneken, Robert Strohmeyer and Mariateresa Torchia) So let us not stop here! This is because for maximal human progress to unfold, be it economic, social, sustainable, or scientific, we need the best leaders for our organizations. #positivevibes #genderequality #UNSDG5 Universität Mannheim University of Mannheim Business School - Fakultät BWL Mannheim Business School #MannheimBusinessSchool #MannheimerForLife #FemaleLeadershipAccelerator #FemaleLeadership

In the journey towards gender equality within #STEM fields, the stories of women who have paved the way are key to driving change. Professionals like Vania Lombardi, who has challenged gender norms throughout her long career at Versalis, show how women can excel in STEM industries, change mindsets and inspire the next generation. It’s through experiences like hers that we can foster an environment where young women see no limits to their ambitions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. https://lnkd.in/dNHTBGYV

Woman in Science Valentina Sechi (Theme coordinator Soil at Wetsus, Programme Director Master Water Technology): “I remember when I was a kid, I was already concerned about nature. Why do we need to destroy and disregard it? I wanted to do something about it. Of course, things were much more complicated than I thought at the time. Still, these thoughts, combined with my curiosity to understand how the world works, led me to study ecology and eventually become a scientist. During my studies, I never thought of myself as just a woman, but more as an individual who can (and hopes to) make a difference. Naively enough, I was not that concerned about gender equality and discrimination. I thought, in this century, in this part of the world, if I were good and believed in myself, it did not matter which gender I belonged to: I would make it. Only later in life, gradually, by reading about gender equality, I started to see the world and my own experiences through a different lens. The jokes you sometimes hear, the tone people use, the expectations you have about yourself and those implicitly imposed by society: I realized how all these little things are often quite different from what men experience in similar situations. Since then, every time I get in a difficult position or after receiving a comment that made me doubt myself, I ask, 'What if I were a man?' These kinds of questions often help me find the strength to remind myself that it is not me who needs to adapt; it is the world that needs to change. I want a world where women are free to be who they want to be without feeling judged and without being trapped under a 'glass ceiling'. Women is 50% of the human kind, if we are not represented in science and in all fields, the whole humanity miss half of its own perspective and potential. I believe young women can be empowered if they become aware of their potential, if they realized that without them the world is missing its half. We could then finally move from a (white)man-shaped world to a world with a much larger and broader perspective, because being humans means something more than being a man." #internationalwomeninscienceday #wetsus #masterwatertechnology

#SchneiderElectric and its Foundation are empowering women through training, skilling, and awareness initatives🌿🌍 In the journey to achieve a sustainable and inclusive energy transition, the active participation of women is crucial at every stage. While progress has been made, with women now representing one-third of renewable energy jobs, many still face barriers to accessing higher-paying and technical roles. This demonstrates barriers rooted in cultural and social norms, as well as limited access to education compared to men. (Despite progress, where women now represent one-third of renewable energy jobs, significant barriers remain for accessing higher-paying and technical roles. These barriers are often rooted in cultural and social norms, compounded by limited access to education compared to men. As we advance climate justice, a just transition ensures women aren't left behind. Their inclusion is pivotal for sustainable growth and development for all. 💚 Schneider Electric’s Youth Education & Entrepreneurship program is committed to empowering girls & women in the energy sector and promoting gender equality. 💪💡 ⬇ Read our ‘Gender strategy in the energy transition’ white paper on best practices, strategies and success stories here ⬇ http://spr.ly/6042kQbcn #YouthImpactThroughLearning #SHElectric #ImpactCompany #IWD

Celebrating International Day of Women in Science Today, on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, let us celebrate the incredible contributions of women and girls who are breaking barriers and changing the world through their scientific achievements. This day is a commemoration and a call to action for gender equality and an invitation to shatter the glass ceilings that have hindered progress for too long. As we navigate through the complexities of the 21st century, the role of women and girls in science has never been more crucial. They bring diverse perspectives, innovative ideas, and a resilience that is reshaping the scientific community and leading to groundbreaking discoveries that benefit us all. Yet, the journey is far from over. We must continue to advocate for policies that promote inclusivity, provide equal opportunities for education and career advancement, and celebrate the achievements of women scientists who pave the way for future generations. Let's take a moment to reflect on the achievements of women and girls in science, support their endeavors, and inspire the next generation to dream big and pursue their passions in STEM fields. Together, we can create a future where science knows no gender, only the boundless curiosity and determination to make the world a better place. I do want to shout out one of my favorite women in science, my sister, Julissa Morales, who is graduating this year with her degree in Biochemistry Engineering from the University of Rochester. To say that I am beyond proud of her for living her passion, is a true understatement. Let's empower, support, and elevate each other, today and every day. Because when women and girls in science thrive, humanity moves forward. #womeninscience #STEM #equality #inclusion #innovation #inspiration #eventprofs
