Women In Technology - Friday Links - 13/05/2022
Dear WIT Friends,
Everything is back to normal finally and we are able to enjoy our CERN spring events again!
And which are they?
1. Bike to Work
Especially, if you are a newcomer, don't lose the opportunity to live these experiences which bring CERN people together! Find your team and apply!
Women in Sports
Unfortunately though, gender inequality exists in the sports field as well.

The following toolkit has been developed as part of the European Union(EU) and Council of Europe joint Project:

Here it is just a small list of some of these great women within the last decades:

They have to keep their professional and family life balanced which is one of the most difficult tasks.
But which is the story behind this day?
One of the biggest companies worldwide, McKinsey, had made different researches the last 2 years about motherhood and career:
For mothers in the workplace a year like no other
