Scientific meetings are available in streaming
We specify that the event will be in Italian

 
The national meeting of TIWS - Top Italian Women Scientists, the association that includes the most qualified (*) researchers in the field of neuroscience, in the biomedical sector and in clinical sciences will be held on the 23^rd of September in Modena.
Now in its fourth edition, the National Meeting will be held in Modena (in the former AEM Central, Open Laboratories, Viale Buon Pastore, 43) and will continue the path inaugurated last year and identified in the title "New frontiers of biomedical research": the Italian scientists gathered here will reflect on the prospects for the development of medicine with a particular focus on heart and brain diseases and gender differences that the most advanced research is  finding in the study of these pathologies.
The event will be an opportunity for discussion on highly specialized research, but also an initiative to promote scientific study paths among young women.
"A mentor is very important in life, I have had several; in particular I remember a female mentor , when I was in the United States, with whom I am still in contact. - says Adriana Albini, Member of the Scientific Direction of the European Institute of Oncology-Professor of General Pathology at the University of Milan Bicocca, inviting the young women to the meeting -  A    mentor is a figure who gives advice helps and makes himself available to a student or a younger person to accompany him at least for a stretch of his path. We invite students interested in deepening the scientific disciplines to come and have a chat with us, in particular in the field of biomedical research"

APPOINTMENTS ON THE CALENDAR
The meeting is divided into four modules.
Modules 1, 2 and 4 are free and are open to high school and university students, researchers and young scholars upon registration; always free the meeting on Friday 23 at 6pm, more informative and aimed at all the public. Modules 3 and 4 will also be streamed.

For the Club, researchers with an H-index equal to or greater than 50 were selected.

(**) the award is named after the Louhabi sisters, young students of Moroccan origin, citizens of Sassuolo, who died in the prime of their years due to drowning.

ASSOCIATIONS PROMOTING THE INITIATIVE
European Women's Management  Development (EWMD)
It is a European network with more than thirty years of history created by women who set themselves a challenging professional goal, "that women and men can influence society and the economy in equal measure and with equal responsibility for well-being and progress". It is aimed at women in positions of responsibility and who set themselves a challenging professional goal, and at companies that share a vision of equity and meritocracy. EWMD proposes and acts with a spirit of exchange and equality.

Top Italian Female Scientists - Club Delle Scienziate (TIWS)
Top Italian Women Scientists (TIWS) is the club of the best Italian biomedical scientists promoted by Onda, established in May 2016 and chaired by Adriana Albini. The group brings together women who are characterized by high scientific productivity and who have made a substantial contribution to development in the biomedical field, in clinical sciences and in neuroscience. The goal is to promote "pink" research and bring young women closer to this world.

Fondazione Onda – National Observatory on Women's Health and Gender
Fondazione Onda is the National Observatory on Women's and Gender Health, established in Milan in 2005 at the behest of some professionals already engaged in various capacities on the front of women's health and gender medicine.
