[Infopoint]

NOTE: VENUE CHANGE



Tomorrow (9 May), SISSA will be hosting an event that highlights the

importance of networking among female scientists. Titled "When women in

science get together: The role of networks", the all-day conference
will 
serve as a platform to discuss the current situation of women
networks 
in science as well as major challenges and advancements. The
event will 
be opened by Marica Branchesi, astrophysicist from the Gran
Sasso 
Science Institute of L’Aquila, with the talk "Women in
AstroPhysics: the 
new exploration of the Universe through gravitational
waves." She was 
recently nominated among the 100 most influential
people by Time 
magazine and, in 2017, among the 10 most influential
scientists by the 
magazine Nature for her contribution to the discovery
of gravitational 
waves.



The programme for the event is available at

It is free and open to the public. All talks are in English.
