In an increasingly interconnected world, the challenges of science and education require combining disciplines, data, and diverse perspectives. In this session of the series One Hundred Women Scientists: Dialogues with Women Experts in Science and Language, biomedical scientist and researcher María José Martínez Bravo (University College London) and artificial intelligence expert Nuria Oliver (Director of ELLIS Alicante) will explore how science and technology can transform society and education—from early schooling to advanced research.
Drawing on their international careers—which include institutions such as MIT, Microsoft Research, the Karolinska Institutet, and King’s College London—they will reflect on curiosity, global collaboration, and social commitment in the construction of scientific and educational knowledge. The conversation will address how artificial intelligence and research on education and gender equity can converge to promote equal opportunities and inspire new generations to imagine innovative solutions for a fairer, healthier world.
Beyond scientific and technological progress, the session will highlight education, the transmission of passion for science, and the need for new researchers and educators capable of leading with impact. An inspiring conversation about science, vocation, and the power of knowledge to transform society.
The discussion will be moderated by Victoria García Giner, Research Associate at the Rosalind Franklin Institute (Harwell, Oxfordshire).
Event organised in collaboration with CERU – SRUK.
