“More women in Physics”

The award, intended for students enrolled in the first year of the master’s degree course in experimental and theoretical physics, was established by the INFN to promote and support girls in the study of physics and increase the presence of women in the world of research and work.

Of the 25 students awarded on 28 September in the presence of the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors of the INFN, 5 are enrolled at the University of Bologna.

Each student has received a scholarship of 1500 euros as an incentive to undertake their studies in Physics in the fields of interest to the INFN.
