BIST Round Table: Empowering Women in Science within the BIST Community

The Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) will be holding a Round Table on the topic of Empowering Women in Science within the BIST Community on November 28th from 13h to 17h at the Centre Civic Urgell (C/Urgell 145, 08036 Barcelona) in Barcelona.
