Women in Science
Women in Science was a first in its kind, taking part in the physics deparment in December of 2021. We faced a lot of obstacles in organizing the event, from advertising to number of expected visitors, factors that affect the flow of the workshop and the programme in general. Thankfully from members and volunteers was immense.
As a team, we had fun, developed soft skills like creativity, critical thinking, problem – solving, adaptability, communications and many others.
Mainly the event left a bitter sweet aftertaste, from finally achieving and closing such an event. On the following morning, though, the question “What’s next” was afloat.
So, what is next?
Well, some events are in works, and will be anounced(but we can’t give them out yet)
In any case, please leave your thoughts in the comments section.

As a closing statement we would like to thank:
K. Gazeas’ team(Professor of our Physics department) and the team from Planet in your Hand, for opening up their observatory and exhibition, thus enrichening the whole event.
Science Reactors, for their Stand Up Science show(which served as a closing part of the first day).
Professors of Physics department Anna Tzanakaki, Elena Floka and Niki Saolidou, for contributing in their talks, describing their life experiences, and giving a helping hand in jump starting the conversation of women in science.
Έπειτα τους Science Reactors που με την Stand Up Science παράστασή τους έκλεισαν την πρώτη μέρα του event. Τέλος τις καθηγήτριες του τμήματος Άννα Τζανακάκη, Έλενα Φλόκα και Νίκη
Σαουλίδου, που την δεύτερη μέρα του event,μέσα τις ομιλίες και τα βιώματά τους, δόθηκε βήμα να
γίνει μια άκρως εποικοδομητική συζήτηση πάνω στο θέμα γυναίκες στην επιστήμη.
