Event 16 April at Teatro Miela - A Future Connected: Scientists of the World

[Infopoint]

Dear colleagues,

On Tuesday, 16 April, OWSD,  the Organization of Women in Science in 
Developing Countries, invites you to the event, '*A Future Connected: 
Scientists of the World*', at the Teatro Miela in Trieste. The event is 
a screening of a series of video portraits and direct testimonies of 
female scientists who live and do research in Africa, Asia and Latin 
America. Many of these women are pursuing scientific and technological 
enterprises that will change their communities. /With this event we 
would like to share some of their stories with you. /The objective of 
the event is to broaden the horizons of scientific citizenship from a 
local to a global perspective. Through direct testimonies and short 
video portraits it will be possible to meet scientists who deal with 
sustainability in the textile industry, purification of drinking water, 
creation of renewable energy, defense of biodiversity and much more in 
countries such as Tanzania, Uganda, Congo, Nepal, Guatemala, Kenya, and 
Ecuador. A breath of fresh air that brings innovative solutions and a 
vision of a shared future.

The six video portraits that will be presented are part of a series 
created over the last four years through the "OWSD Visions" training 
program for filmmakers to promote often invisible research. The program 
coordinator Nicole Leghissa and the Nepalese scientist Tista Prasai 
Joshi, protagonist of one of the video portraits, will be present to 
talk about their experience. Also present at the event will be 24 
scientists who have recently won an important research grant: the OWSD 
Early Career Fellowship, and who have been invited to Trieste to get to 
know each other, network and participate in a series of trainings 
organized by OWSD in Trieste.
