The Marie Curie Alumni Association hosted an important conference as part of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The panel, which took place at the Conference Hall of the Ahmet Keleşoğlu Science High School in Istanbul, was dominated by scientists who are experts in their fields.
The panel, which set out with the motto of Supporting Girls and Women; Integrating Art, Science and Well-being Beyond Borders, was moderated by Prof. Dr. Süreyya Akyüz, a faculty member at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Bahçeşehir University and the Head of the Marie Curie Alumni Association Career Development Working Group, who has made a name for herself with her work.
Ataşehir District Governor Bekir Dınkırcı and Ataşehir District Director of National Education İsmail Yıldırım also attended the conference. The conference drew attention to the importance of supporting women and girls in science for the welfare and development of the country. The steps that need to be taken were discussed and the studies carried out were discussed.
In the first session of the panel, Turkey's leading female scientists Prof. Dr. Aytül Erçil and Assoc. Burcu Güngör gave inspiring speeches to women and girls.
