The objective of these grants is to encourage women to enroll in experimental sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics
The University of Murcia has held the award ceremony for the ‘Piedad de la Cierva’ scholarships for new students in any of the degrees belonging to the field known as ‘Stem’ (experimental sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics) in the course academic 2021-2022.
As reported by sources from the educational institution in a statement, these are scholarships financed by the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, through the Ministry of Business, Employment, Universities and Spokesperson, with the aim of encouraging women to enroll in these areas of knowledge.
The event, held at the University Social Center, was attended by the rector, José Luján; and Christian de la Fe Rodríguez, General Director of Universities of the Autonomous Community.
The rector has highlighted the value of this initiative “because it is necessary and convenient to stimulate and favor the incorporation of women to study and research in those areas in which they have less presence”.
