We celebrate the International Women`s Day 2022 by recognizing the crucial role female scientists and leaders have played in the development of the EPS Young Minds Programme, its sections and the young generation of physicists in Europe.
We are deeply concerned about the conflict in the Ukraine and the ongoing aggressions of Russian forces. Our thoughts and our solidarity are with our section members in the Ukraine, the Ukrainian people and all people that have to experience unnecessary suffering in this war.
We hope for a quick resolution of the conflict and we call the international community and all political decision makers to work intensely towards a diplomatic solution.
Many bright and committed Young Minds have followed the call for applications to join the Action Committee.
Eventually Dr. Mažena Mackoit Sinkevičienė (EPS YM Vilnius& postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy, Vilnius University), Anna Grigoryan (EPS YM Artsakh & junior researcher at the A. Alikhanyan National Laboratory) and Carlos Damián Rodríguez-Fernández (EPS YM Santiago de Compostela & predoctoral researcher at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela) were selected to join the committee.
All three have displayed great motivation and leadership in the development of their local sections and broader communities, and we are happy that they will contribute to the development of the programme in a more central role in the future.
Anna and Mažena already started their work in the committee, Carlos Damian will join after the summer break.
