Once we decided to respond positively to the submission of the “STAR Girls” proposal so that it becomes a much promising European project, our first thought both as women and scientists/researchers was “let’s go for it!”. It’s not just the statistics of the European Union, attributing to women very small percentages of representation in the sectors of VET, STEM, energy efficiency and renewable energy, i.e., all that has to do with net-zero industry that drove us to get thrilled about the perspective of a project like STAR Girls… but mainly that inner deep desire as – former girls – to be able to put some bricks on that “bridge” that all current girls with a strong potential in science will step upon to be led to a brighter future!!
