With great curiosity and enthusiasm, more than 30 schoolgirls from all over Tyrol immersed themselves in practical workshops and laboratories. The diversity of career paths in the field of technology & life sciences was brought to the fore with the motto “How can I become a problem solver for global challenges?”.
Based on this motto, the young women took on the roles of problem solvers for global challenges such as
the effects of climate change
the digital transformation
robust supply chains
circular economy
the future of mobility and work
quality healthcare
