The Rector of the Universitat Jaume I and Delegate of the Presidency of Crue for Equality Policies, Eva Alcón, has participated in the thematic series of colloquiums #SonPioneras on equality and transfer of academic women organised by the University of Granada. The second session of the series, which has coincided with the celebration of the International Day of Women Entrepreneurs, has also been attended by the Rector of Granada, Pilar Aranda.

Alcón stressed that one of the "urgent" challenges that universities face is "to break the gender gap in STEM disciplines to avoid the risk of women being excluded from the labor market in an increasingly technological society. In this sense, she stressed that the low percentage of female university students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is added to the fact that women only represent 18% of people employed in ICT sectors, "when precisely the technology sector has the greatest perspective of employability and better paid jobs".
