The Marie Curies of the Mediterranean
»The Marie Curies of the Mediterranean«
»The Marie Curies of the Mediterranean« celebrates the lives and achievements of female scientists and researchers from the Mediterranean region who have received the prestigious Marie Curie fellowships from the European Union and/or contributed to it through their work. The exhibition is a collection of 29 panels offering an intimate view of each. Each panel includes a biography that spans from their childhood and motivations to their university studies and professional achievements. These diverse backgrounds reflect the richness of the Mediterranean region. Additionally, it highlights the impact of the Marie Curie fellowships on their careers and provides a glimpse into their hobbies and family life.
The exhibition was designed by the Marie Curie Alumni Association and El Caleidoscopio, partners of the MEDNIGHT consortium, and brought to Vienna by the Austrian Archaeological Institute.
The program will include insights into the Marie Skłodowska-Curie funding program of the European Union, lightning talks by successful fellows, a panel discussion on the topic »Empowering Women in Science«, and the official opening of the exhibition.
The opening event and exhibition will be held in English. Drinks and finger food will be provided.
