[PODCAST] Listen to the second episode of the "En immers(i)on" podcast to hear what happened when nine women visited the Institut Pasteur via the Rêv'Elles association for a discussion and information day

On April 24, the Institut Pasteur hosted the Rêv'Elles association as part of its commitment to gender equality and its efforts to tackle all forms of discrimination.

The aim of the event was to raise awareness and provide information for young women from less privileged backgrounds about the careers available at the Institut Pasteur. The initiative was led by two dedicated Institut Pasteur staff: Hajar Guedira, in charge of partnerships and accreditations in the CARE Department (Career Development Service for Scientists) and in the Department for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI); and Claire Pujol, a scientist in the Mitochondrial Biology Unit, in collaboration with the Rêv'Elles association. (See their profile in the newsletter from March 7)

This day at the Institut Pasteur was an opportunity for nine women aged 18 to 22 to see how a research laboratory works in practice and find out about professions in science and research, with the aim of helping them overcome the frequent phenomenon of self-censorship by widening their professional horizons.

The newsletter team is pleased to invite you to find out more about this lively event by listening to the dedicated podcast! Tune in to find out how these nine young women got on during their day at the Institut Pasteur, which was a positive and enjoyable experience for all involved.
