Rome
The Rome local group was founded in 2013.
The Rome area is home to wealth of aerospace-related activities, from Universities to Companies, from Research institutions to Government Agencies: they can all be found in or around the Eternal City.
Our aim is to bring together the large Italian Space community in support of a more diverse and equal workforce, attracting our members and stimulating the new generation for interest in STEM.
The main Rome LG initiatives are:
- Organization of seminars/workshops/trainings performed “face to face” or by “digital platform”
- Virtual Sunday Coffee Break
- Networking/Mentoring with our aerospace experts and external guests
Social media initiatives:
- #MeetOurLG, Rome LG Instagram
- #InspirationalquotesfromWomeninSTEM, Rome LG Instagram/Facebook and WIA-E LinkedIn
- #RubricaGiovani, on Rome LG Instagram/Facebook
Italian primary/secondary educational: “Da grande voglio andare nello spazio” - #GenderEquality Research team
