The Rector of the Universitat Jaume I and delegate of the Presidency of Crue Universidades Españolas for Equality Policies, Eva Alcón, has participated in a virtual round table on women's leadership in science, a debate organised by the Fundación CyD. The online meeting was attended by six women with different profiles and professional careers who discussed the current situation and the presence of women in science, as well as proposals and strategies for the future to reduce the gender gap.

Alcón defended, among other proposals, the need to give greater visibility to women scientists and technologists in order to break with gender stereotypes. "We need female role models for girls and young women, especially in areas such as STEM, in a context in which the digital transformation is accelerating and all the talent is needed to face these changes," she said. In this sense, she stressed the importance of correcting this gender gap - women represent less than 30% of students in STEM degrees - "so that another gender gap, the wage gap, does not worsen, since the most in-demand and best paid jobs will be associated with this technological field".

In the academic and institutional sphere, Rector Eva Alcón highlighted some measures that demonstrate the universities' commitment to advancing equality. She pointed out the creation of the Crue Delegation for Equality Policies and the incorporation of gender equality as a cross-cutting issue in the University 2030 strategy. The Crue Delegate for Equality Policies stated that "the university has the opportunity, and the responsibility, to become a space for real equality that serves as an example for society as a whole. Gender gaps will not be corrected if the university does not also do so, which, let us not forget, is the main ecosystem for training, research and innovation".

In addition to the Rector Eva Alcón, the panel included the participation of Lola Ardura, student of Biomedical Engineering and Telecommunications Systems Engineering; Carme Artigas, Secretary of State for Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence; Emma Fernández, Vice-President of Fundación Asti Talent & Tech; Susana Ladra, Director of Campus Innova at the University of A Coruña and winner of the Ada Byron Youth 2020 Award; and Almudena Trigo, President of BeAble Capital. The debate was opened by Pilar López, Vice-President of Microsoft Western Europe and President of Microsoft Spain, and moderated by Melina Díaz, Head of Communication at Fundación CYD.
