We will share ideas, strategies and recipes to fight the gender stereotypes and to propose a positive feminine model that could inspire enterprises and organizations that really want to make the difference in the digital era.

Themes for the discussants:

  • The digital transformations introduce major changes in society. Do these phenomena enhance or reduce the gender equality?
  • What competencies and skills are needed to face the changes introduced by the digital transformations?
  • Change and innovation are the drivers of the digital world, is it the same within the organizations regarding the evolution of managers and teams?
  • Change, innovation but also inspiration are key concepts: what does it means inspiration for the stakeholders in the digital era? How does research forecast new scenarios?
  • Going beyond women and men, senior and junior’s separation and conflict: does the digital revolution help to overcome the gap?
  • What can we do to encourage women's presence in technological and scientific disciplines / sectors of the economy?
