Women in Science: Shaping the Future of Innovation
February 11, 2025
February 11th marks the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a global recognition of the crucial role women play in advancing scientific knowledge and technology. Despite historical underrepresentation, women continue to drive impactful research, spearhead technological advancements, and inspire future generations in STEM fields.
The Significance of Women in Science
Diversity in scientific research enhances creativity, fosters innovation, and leads to more effective solutions for global challenges. Women have played integral roles in areas such as renewable energy, engineering, and environmental science, contributing significantly to sustainable development and technological progress. Encouraging gender equality in STEM is not just about fairness—it is a fundamental necessity for scientific excellence and inclusive progress.
Pioneering Women in STEM
Throughout history, women have made significant contributions to science, often against societal and institutional barriers. From early pioneers to contemporary leaders, their work continues to shape our understanding of the world and the solutions we develop for the future.
In the energy sector, women are leading the way in battery research, renewable energy innovations, and cutting-edge technological advancements. Their expertise is shaping the next generation of sustainable solutions, reinforcing the importance of equal representation in scientific communities.
Women in Science at ENERGETIC
At ENERGETIC, we celebrate and support the remarkable women who contribute to our mission of advancing energy innovation. Their dedication and expertise are instrumental in driving progress and ensuring the success of our projects.
Meet our partners and their roles within ENERGETIC project:
Marie Suchanova – Project Manager at INSA Strasbourg
“My role involves overseeing the EU-funded research project, ensuring full compliance with EU regulations, and closely monitoring progress to ensure that all deliverables and milestones are met on time. Together with the Coordinators, we responsible for managing resources, coordinating with stakeholders, and mitigating any risks to ensure the successful execution of the project in line with EU guidelines.I’ve been working in the scientific field for almost 20 years, with a primary focus on EU-funded research projects. In addition, have also been actively involved in promoting science and scientific breakthroughs through the organization of large-scale international events and conferences.”
Science drives progress in fields like medicine, physics, the environment, and ecology. We are constantly surrounded by scientific wonders, and the key to unlocking them lies in relentless curiosity and hard work. It’s through these discoveries that we move forward as a society, shaping a better future for all.
Charlotte Alliod – Innovation Manager in the Technology & Innovation entity
“My name is Charlotte ALLIOD, I am 37 years old, 2 children and I am a young, not so young, scientist with a full life. Within Capgemini engineering, I am France innovation manager in the Technology & Innovation entity. In the ENERGETIC project, I co-developed the subject with INSA Strasbourg, looked for partners, put together the file with Europe, focused the subject on the cloud/data architecture part or even on AI/batteries and of course motivated the troops. With a doctorate in toxicology and bioinformatics, I have dedicated myself to science for many years. I am passionate about innovation and the possibilities it offers for science and its advances.”
Women are remarkable.
Daniela Chrenko – Head-supervisor of PhD candidat Solomon Berihy ARAYA, Multi-physical modelling of Battery cells
” I obtained my PhD in 2008 on Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR) based model of a diesel driven fuel cell system, and I were an associate professor at University of Burgundy, France Higher Institute of Automobile and Transport UB ISAT from 2009-2016. Now I am an associate professor at Technical University of Belfort-Montbéliard, France UTBM. I am the associated director of the FEMTO-ST/Energie research department in charge of scientific seminaries and FCLABs coordinator for industrial training on hydrogen energy topics. My research interests are system description of sustainable mobility systems including Batteries.”
By amplifying their voices, we hope to inspire young women to pursue careers in science and create a future where equal opportunities in research and innovation become the standard.
Join us in celebrating women in science and advocating for a more inclusive and diverse scientific community.
