Following the creation of a database of female experts in the STEM field, which already includes 145 names, and 65 profiles in economics and finance, this year, thanks to the scientific partnership with ISPI (Institute for International Political Studies), the focus is on women working in international politics.
The project's third phase will kick off on March 19th with an event titled "Why Europe? Women Have Their Say," where #100esperte will give the floor to women who, from positions of responsibility, work every day for Europe's future.
