BSE Women in Science 2021
Celebrating research by women in the BSE Alumni community for Women in Science Day 2021
In honor of the United Nations' annual International Day of Women and Girls in Science (February 11), the Barcelona School of Economics invited the women in the BSE Alumni community to participate in the BSE Women In Science challenge on social media.
To participate, alumnae posted on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook about a project or paper they've worked on and then nominated fellow alumnae to take the challenge as well using the hashtag #BSEWomenInScience.
Ilaria Vigo '16 (Economics of Public Policy) helped organize the initiative. In her post, she called the colleagues she nominated "brilliant women with whom I’ve shared the BSE life."
The projects that alumnae shared for the Women in Science challenge reveal the many ways in which they are using their training from the BSE Master's programs and the PhD programs in the BSE community to find answers to today's most pressing questions:
