EVENTS
I regularly organise or take part as invited speaker to international conferences, schools, workshops, webinars.
Topics include cosmology, space science, theoretical physics, data analysis, career development, education, science policy and science diplomacy, transfer of knowledge between academia and industry and in general across different professions. Since 2020 I am part of the board of the DIRE Network, with which I co-organise events that host women professionals in different fields (from international organisations, research, industry, literature, art).
Below you find recent ones.
Pictures are usually taken by me in the city where the meeting took place.
