Highlights of the 2024 Women in Transport Summer School in Modena

MUNER is deeply committed to building a community that challenges and breaks down the gender stereotypes that unfortunately still exist in the automotive sector. The Women in Transport Summer School is a flagship initiative for us. Bringing together 20 passionate young female engineers for two weeks in Motor Valley not only enriches our community, but also highlights the significant progress we still need to make. We firmly believe that the automotive sector deserves the contributions of everyone, regardless of gender, to tackle the truly challenging future that lies ahead.
Prof. Elena Bassoli, Director of the Women in Transport Summer School
