The 4th edition of the competition “Women and Research in Physics: Between Gender Stereotypes and Future Professions” organized for the 2022/2023 school year is now underway.
The Competition, aimed at students of upper secondary schools (grades 10, 11, and 12) who can participate individually or in groups, aims to raise awareness about gender issues in science and particularly about emerging professions related to the study of physics.
The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, signed in 2015 by 193 States, emphasizes the importance of work as an engine and accelerator for long-term sustainable development.
Rapid technological evolution and the climate emergency require professionals with scientific, technological, IT, digital, and interdisciplinary skills that will be essential for the development of an eco-sustainable economy. It is estimated that the next five years will be decisive in defining 60% of future professions.
The gender imbalance in many advanced training and career paths in technological and research sectors has a strong social impact. These issues have been identified by the European Commission as research priorities in Europe. Italy also recognizes that the low female presence in the study and work areas requiring STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), and particularly physics, is a significant obstacle to the economic growth of our country.
Participants must submit the project in the form of an original video with a maximum duration of 5 minutes, whose technical production requirements are available at http://genera.lngs.infn.it. The winning videos will be presented in Rome in May 2023 during an event dedicated to the role of women in physics. Winners will receive a scientific kit and a plaque with the name of the school that won the prize.
Registration for the competition must be submitted by February 17, 2023, while the sottomissione del progetto entro il 17 marzo 2023.
The competition is organized by the National Institute for Nuclear Physics and the National Research Council – Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies (IRPPS), partner of the European network “GENERA – Gender Equality Network in the European Research Area“, in collaboration with the H2020 project “MINDtheGEPs – Modifying Institutions by Developing Gender Equality Plans” (G.A. 101006543).
The initiative is supported by the Italian Physical Society, the Association for Physics Teaching, Springer Nature, and Elsevier.

On November 14 and 15, we are resuming the training activities of the 8 trainers from the CNR National Research Council on gender equality issues within our organization!
The advanced training course is promoted and organized by #IRPPS as part of the activities of the Gender Equality Plan (GEP 2022-2024) and will introduce participatory techniques for problem-solving and the #GEP as a tool to implement gender equity pathways in the field of research.

PUBLIC SELECTION FOR THE AWARD OF 1 RESEARCH GRANT FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF RESEARCH ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE RESEARCH PROJECT DUS.AD012.140 E.A.T.S. EMPOWERING AGRI-FOOD CHAIN ACTORS THROUGH SOCIAL DIALOGUE
This is a “Professionalizing Grant”
The workshop aims to explore the role of two concepts and their effect on social justice for women in STEAM: a culture of discrimination that is hidden in plain sight; and the wall of silence surrounding meaningful challenges to this culture. It will also point out and understand the role of identities (intersectionality) and stereotypes that break through the hidden cultures in STEAM that are preventing women’s career opportunities. It will address the gender stereotypes as well as the barriers that women in STEAM are facing. The gender gap in science is already happening at such an early age. The stereotype of study, where maths, physics and computing are seen as male subjects for study. How does this happen? How can a subject have a gender associated with it?
Finally, the workshop will introduce the Gender Equity Diversity and Inclusion (GEDI) WG of Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) and conclude with a session on how to write a Marie Curie individual fellowship for the target group of students and post-doc researchers at the University of Bari, and will discuss the Gender Gap in the recommendations of Women20, the engagement group of G20 on Gender Equality.

“- Population movement is usually represented as a determinant of vulnerability in existing frameworks dealing with systemic risk
– In reality, this phenomenon has complex and far-reaching implications in terms of both increasing and reducing systemic risk. These implications can even occur simultaneously.
– Systemic risk assessment and management frameworks should take into account and incorporate population movement as a positive phenomenon that allows for increased resilience and risk reduction within societies.”
Fabrizio Pecoraro and Daniela Luzi have published a new article in an Open Access Journal.
“Business Process Management (BPM) has been increasingly used in recent years in the healthcare domain to analyze, optimize, harmonize and compare clinical and healthcare processes. The main aim of this methodology is to model the interactions between medical and organizational activities needed to deliver health services, measure their complexity, variability and deviations to improve the quality of care and its efficiency. Among the different tools, languages and notations developed in the decades, UML (Unified Modeling Language) represents a widely adopted technique to model, analyze and compare business processes in healthcare. We adopted its diagrams in the MOCHA project to compare the different ways of organizing, coordinating and delivering child care across 30 EU/EEA countries both from an organization and control-flow perspectives. This paper provides an overview of the main components used to represent the business process using UML diagrams, also highlighting how we customized them to capture the specificity of the healthcare domain taking into account that processes are reconstructed on the basis of country experts’ responses to questionnaires. The benefits of the application of this methodology are demonstrated by providing examples of comparing different aspects of child care.”
