FEPIC fosters creativity for innovation and leadership in scientific-engineering fields.

As stated by the European Commission in “Progress towards the Lisbon objectives in education and training”, competitiveness in the global economy will also depend on the number and competences of every country’s scientific specialists. Furthermore, the number of graduates in scientific fields “should increase by at least 15% by 2010 while at the same time the level of sex imbalance should decrease”.

Creativity and leadership can make the difference to cope with the increased complexity of future society. FEPIC wants to face this challenge, producing an e-learning tool which will be available online in 6 languages (English, Estonian, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Swedish).

FEPIC is gathering information and resources from a wide network of universities, companies and associations. Moreover, the project promotes bottom-up collaborative implementation by collating meaningful experiences. If you have interesting and relevant stories to tell us at the intersection of creativity, leadership and gender in science, we will be happy to receive your contribution.
