The members of the European Platform of Women Scientists EPWS are particularly happy of the large number of women inventors awardees, evidencing their huge creativity. They are great models for younger women scientistsan for girls considering to enter science and technology studies.
Hopefully the prizewinners lists of the coming years will confirm this tendency.
Prof. Claudine Hermann, EPWS President
