To commemorate International Women’s Day, The European University of Brain
and Technology (NeurotechEU), in which the Miguel Hernández University of
Elche (UMH) is a founding member, has planned a meeting session that
features veteran researchers and students. This activity, in English and
open to the public over Crowdcast, is taking place next *Monday, March 8,
beginning at 09:00 Central European Time*. Its aim is to inspire young
women who want to direct their careers toward research in neuroscience and
neurotechnology, to share experiences, and to discuss policies of equality
related to scientific professions.

students to heads of laboratories, and hail from the UMH, Radboud
University (The Netherlands), Boğaziçi University (Turkey), University of
Debrecen (Hungary), Karolinska Institutet (Sweden), and the University of
Oxford (United Kingdom).

This meeting will address topics such as European strategies for gender
equality within educational and professional training contexts, personal
experiences of women dedicated to neurotechnology, and scientific and
technical milestones reached by women throughout history. UMH doctoral
candidates, Laura Ferrero (Systems Engineering and Automation) and Laura
Rincón (Institute of Neurosciences), are organizing this segment. UMH
