Carmen Moldovan (IMT Bucharest), official EID chair of the SiNANO Institute, introduced and chaired this event. Then, Clivia SotoMayor-Tores, from ICN2, presented the current challenges and numbers related to EID in the scientific world. It opened the debate on solutions we could think of, to make a more gender balanced, inclusive and diversified future.

In the framework of the SINANO Institute Equality, Inclusion & Diversity Plan, after nomination and selection, 3 promising SINANO Junior Researchers were offered the opportunity to present their own experience including issues, career expectations, “Business Card” and a Technical presentation on their research in nanoelectronics, mentioning motivation, skills and expertise.
