We need female role models in society

January 2018

Sara is interviewed as Researcher of the Year 2018 by IT Watch, Denmark. The interview was due to Sara’s Innovation Fund award for IT solution that reduces month-long workflows down to just one hour. In this interview, Sara mentioned the importance of introducing female role models to encourage more girls into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). In addition, she talked about various hidden biases in our societies, that discourage girls to enter and continue in specific fields such as technology. As one of our goals at DivERS, we aim at eliminating these biases for different minorities such as women.
