Thanks to their long career experience, they are invited as experts in several jury committees. On the occasion of International Women's Day, they will share their career experience and answer your
queries related to funding opportunities, appreciation and depreciation
in academics.
Come and join us in this inspiring open discussion and explore how to create new career paths in Astronomy!
Below is the topic of discussion:
