¹û¶³´«Ã½ International Women’s Day program

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is “Pushing the limits for a livable world". How can we bring about a future without climate change, ecological breakdown, pandemics, scarcity, war, discrimination and other threats to a humane and equal living society? How can we create a world where 'livability is limitless'?

Join us for an inspiring event, with talks and interviews with female ¹û¶³´«Ã½ students, staff and alumnae who are working towards a better world.

Some of our key speakers:

  • Dan Jing Wu, a biomedical engineer who is working towards an innovation in breast tissue regeneration and breast reconstructive surgery as CEO of VivArt-X;
  • Maureen van Eijnatten, a Irène Curie fellow who is working on artificial intelligence in clinical applications;
  • Kjille Hoeben, CEO of Purplexus BV, working on improving the health and performance of athletes;
  • Esther Cramer, PhD student and top beach volleyball player;
  • Eefje Cuppen, director of the Rathenau institute, researching the impact of science on society.

As part of the event, the Iranian community at ¹û¶³´«Ã½ will present a special program to shed light on the situation of women in Iran.
