Associate research scientists at CARE-C of the Cyprus Institute, Dr Maria Kezoudi and Dr Katiana Constantinidou took part in an inspiring event entitled “Five Women Role Models Breaking Stereotypes and Shaping the Future of Science”, which was co-organised by the Friends of The Cyprus Institute and AIPFE Cyprus–Women of Europe, in collaboration with The Cyprus Institute. It took place on April 9, 2025, at the Cyprus Institute premises in Nicosia.

Through an engaging panel discussion,  five distinguished speakers from the Cyprus Institute – Dr Efthymia Nikita, Dr Anixi Antonakoudi, Dr Katiana Konstantinidou, Dr Valeria Philippou and Dr Maria Kezoudi – shared their personal stories, touching on issues such as unconscious bias and other challenges they faced throughout their career, as well as the importance of encouraging more women to take part and lead in STEAM fields.

This event highlighted the role of women’s participation in science, inspiring other young women to overcome the challenges they face in their careers.
