Grenoble Institute of Technology focuses on women in engineering

On March 7, 2013, Grenoble Institute of Technology will hold a conference on the role of women engineers in businesses—the first event of its kind at the school. Today women account for just 20% of all engineers at the Grenoble Institute of Technology as well as in French companies. Businesses would like to achieve a gender-balanced workforce, making this a very topical HR issue. The afternoon conference will be open to students from all Grenoble Institute of Technology schools. The program will include several talks and four panel discussions, giving Grenoble Institute of Technology alumnae a chance to discuss the issue with current students.
At the end of the day, the Grenoble Institute of Technology Partnership Foundation will grant the “Promoting Women in Engineering” award to a school staff member in recognition of his or her efforts to encourage more women to pursue careers in engineering.
