2025, International Women’s Day – Women’s IQCC Forum

8th of March is International Women’s Day. The IQCC has currently a rather favourable balance in gender ratio of staff members, both at the Master level (54%), PhD level (47%), postdocs (21%) and permanent researchers staff (29%). Notably, out of the 4 most recent permanent members, 2 are men and 2 are women, reinforcing one of the goals of the IQCC of striving to have a gender-balanced permanent staff in the near future.

In order to celebrate this day, on the 7th of March there was the fifth IQCC Forum: Women’s edition, open to the general public. The IQCC Forum: Women’s edition provides the opportunity for an invited speaker and IQCC researchers to present their work to society.
