Clearing the Road: Women in Science and Engineering

The purpose of this event is to encourage young women to find themselves in science and engineering by having empowering female pioneers share their experience and wisdom. While the glass ceiling is still hindering women in this industry it is very important to have inspiring female role models.

Newton, Tesla and Musk are probably the first names that come to mind when you think of the achievements in the department of science and engineering.

But what about Curie, Rachel Carson and Shotwell?
The need of making female role models that have had great successes in this profession more visible is of the utmost importance. We have invited three women, who have all studied and are now working in the field of science and engineering, to tell their story. The aim is to inspire and empower young women and others that are taking their first steps in choosing a career path.

The lecturers will be Guðbjörg Heiða Guðmundsdóttir, the CEO of Marel in Iceland, Helga Dögg Flosadóttir, researcher and project manager at Innovation Center Iceland and Margrét
Arnardóttir, the CEO of the technology department at Ölgerðin.

The presentation will be in Icelandic and accessibility is decent.
