In celebration of Girl’s Day, a day dedicated to encouraging young women to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and the recently celebrated International Women’s Day, we are thrilled to shine a spotlight on some of the incredible women of the POSEIDON project. These talented professionals, whom we affectionately call the POSEI-DONNAs, inspired by our recent trip to Genova, Italy (Donna means lady in Italian), are making significant contributions to our mission of creating a sustainable and clean-energy future by leveraging e-methanol as a renewable fuel for the maritime sector.
We are excited to publish testimonials from Roberta, Clémentine, Nikoletta, Kyriaki, and Pauline, who explain their stories on how they chose their career paths and, most importantly, how they joined and contribute to the POSEIDON project. By communicating their experiences and achievements, they aim to inspire young women and girls over the world to pursue careers in STEM fields, demonstrating that women can make significant contributions to science and technology. By discussing their roles and the innovative aspects of the project, they provide insights and encouragement to the next generation of researchers and engineers interested in sustainable technologies.
By celebrating the achievements of these women, we recognize their essential role in driving innovation and sustainability in the maritime industry. Their work within POSEIDON exemplifies the spirit of both Girl’s Day and International Women’s Day, showcasing the impact of women in science and technology. Let’s continue to support and empower women in STEM! Together, we can build a more sustainable and inclusive future.
