Science and Technology in feminine

Currently there are few women working in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines, which is detrimental to society as a whole because it dispenses with the views, ideas, creativity, work and knowledge of half of the population, undoubtedly beneficial for the collective.

In APTE (Association of Science and Technology Parks of Spain), we believe that we can help change this. Science and technology parks (STPs) are currently playing an important role in innovation processes, as they act as links between the main agents that make up the innovation ecosystem.

In this way, the APTE working group called “fostering science vocations” designed the project “Science and Technology in feminine” the main goal of which is promote feminine science and technology vocations in order to increase the future choice of STEM careers among girls.

In this document we have included the main conclusions and lessons learned from the project activities carried out so far.
