My guest week is Francoise Chombar, Chairwoman at MELEXIS and STEM Platform, and board member at AMS and Umicore. In this episode, she talks about:
- How technology can be a force for positive impact, but only if it is inclusive – and how inclusion is a driver for innovation
- Why diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) needs to become a societal and organisational habit to be effective
- What being a Steminist – a STEM feminist – means and why it is a crucial solution to economic and societal inequality
- Why diversity is not only about diversity of gender or ethnicity or other profiles, but also about diversity of perspectives
- How having the diverse role models, especially during education, is a key to increasing diverse participation in STEM careers
